Our work

JOHUD is a major force for sustainable human development. With over 450  staff, the majority working in the CDC network, JOHUD has the human resource capacities to work in most fields of development to promote social, economic, cultural, environmental, and technological empowerment. JOHUD draws also on the resource of a volunteer network of some 4,000 women, youth and men, and coordinates their operations through association with some 500 local CBOs, jamaiyyas, local committees and other key stakeholders.
 
JOHUD promotes a holistic approach - that recognises the need for multiple interventions. Our major focus is on the human element - we place considerable emphasis on capacity building for individuals and organisations so that they are better able to deliver goods and services that empower the poor and vulnerable.
 
Our in-house skilled expertise 
To carry out these tasks, we  draw on a cadre of staff with technical skills in the above fields (e.g. community mobilisation, training, research, project management, negotiation, and fundraising) They add to this their in-depth experience in key sectors such as poverty alleviation, water management, reproductive health, enterprise development etc. Where JOHUD does not have in-house expertise, we draw on the skills of a team of associates who can deliver specialist advice or can tackle a particular problem in depth.
 
With this resource, we believe that we make a significant difference in the lives of poor and marginalised people in Jordan
