Team Purpose
To contribute to Oxfam vision in Jordan: Jordan’s Climate Crisis is contained through responses led by those who are least responsible and hardest hit.
This means that communities in Jordan have the ability to realize their rights and improve their well-being despite shocks, stresses and uncertainty as a direct and indirect consequence of climate change, by taking intentional action to enhance the personal and collective capacity to respond to and influence the course of social, environmental and economic change.
The Team has started to transition from a focus only on WASH towards a Climate Justice programme last year. While existing work under WASH (such as Solid Waste Management and water management) has already transitioned to a have a more climate focused approach, new approaches and modalities need to be developed over the next years to build a strong climate portfolio. To do so the team will focus on innovation and evidence generation to be able to come-up with climate programming that will be scalable in the Jordanian context.
Job purpose

- Individuals and communities in Jordan have a better understanding of the impact of climate change, increased knowledge on conservation of natural resources, energy, and waste management leading to them taking action to use resources wisely through behaviour and practice change.
- Vulnerable communities have increased resilience to the impacts of climate change.
- Experience from Oxfam innovation and experimentation inform policy and practice of Government of Jordan in their transition to a green economy.
