About the project:

The “Livelihoods Planning and Guidance for Youth in Amman, Mafraq, Irbid and Zarqa” project is a two year project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by World Vision international in Jordan.

The l skills that participants will gain in conducting data collection and analysis, critical thinking, public speech, report writing, survey and interview, are expected to benefit them also in their life decisions making process, at work, and in community-based leadership activities.
