Gender Justice Programme – Masarouna Project

Training of Trainers (TOT) on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for pharmacists Consultant

Background

Oxfam has been in Jordan since the 1990s. We work with local partners in Jordan for a future where everyone can reach their full potential, especially women and young people. We provide essential humanitarian assistance to Syrian refugees as well as vulnerable Jordanians, while promoting longer term sustainable solutions to challenges facing Jordan, with a focus on Climate Justice, Economic Justice and Gender Justice.

Under the Gender Justice programme, Oxfam is part of a regional consortium implementing the Masarouna “Our pathway” programme. The Masarouna initiative follows two interlinked pathways to achieve lasting change: influencing decision makers and communities; and strengthening civic space. Both pathways are supported by a cross-cutting capacity strengthening approach, in partnership with a range of civil society actors. Global and regional partners facilitate access to funds and bring technical and thematic expertise. The project builds on Oxfam’s expertise in using a rights-based and gender responsive approach, with a strong focus on advocating for vulnerable women and young people in Jordan.

In 2024, under the “Wise Pharmacist Campaign”, which aimed to enhancing the role of pharmacists as key providers of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. Through the campaign implementation, it was emphasized the importance of collaboration with the Pharmacists’ Syndicate to maximize impact and ensure sustainable engagement. Through these efforts, the initiative was seeking to advocate for the integration of pharmacists into the broader SRH services framework and raise awareness about their potential contributions to advancing public health.
