Adolescent Well-Being In Jordan: Exploring Gendered Capabilities,Contexts And Change Strategies
This report synthesises findings about adolescent girls’ and boys’ capabilities across six key domains: (1) education and learning; (2) health,nutrition,and sexual and reproductive health (SRH); (3) bodily integrity and freedom from violence; (4) psychosocial well-being; (5) voice and agency; and (6) economic empowerment. It concludes with policy and programming implications viewed through a multidimensional capability lens.
GAGE is working in five governorates in Jordan – Amman,Mafraq,Irbid,Zarqa and Jerash – where most of the Syrian refugee population live. In order to explore the complexity of adolescent realities in refugee and host communities,we spread our sample across three very different contexts: host communities,informal tented settlements (ITSs),and United Nations (UN) refugee camps.
