The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration (PRM) awarded a $1.7 million cooperative agreement to Handicap International Inc. to contribute to building more inclusive communities for crisis-affected Syrians and vulnerable Jordanians under the Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East. The one-year award effective September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023 will improve access to comprehensive rehabilitation and early childhood development services for girls, boys, women and men affected by the Syrian crisis in targeted areas of Amman, Irbid, Mafraq, and Zarqa Governorates in Jordan. A $170,000 subaward was provided to the Association Federation Handicap International to deliver similar services. The funding advances PRM's priority of assisting refugee populations in neighboring countries through programs that provide protection and aid to Syrian and Iraqi refugees, conflict victims, and internally displaced persons.
