AICS protection programmes focus on people safety with special attention to the most vulnerable refugees and Jordanians who do not have access to basic assistance. In accordance with international standards and in coordination with local partners and institutions, AICS works to reduce the risk of exposure to violence and abuse, within Jordanian refugee camps and within communities across the country.
AICS supported stand-alone protection initiatives, through interventions aimed at the protection of individuals which include both activities related to the protection obligations and responsibilities of duty-bearers’ stakeholders for the protection of civilians and to facilitate IDP families tracing and reunification.
Moreover, within the protection sector and in the framework of the efforts to create the conditions for the IDPs to safely return in the areas of origin, AICS supported mine actions interventions through humanitarian demining and mine risk education.
AICS launched in 2021 a programme aimed to counter and respond to Gender-Based Violence in KRI, supporting the local authorities to meet the requirements in terms of capacities to implement the Act of Combating Domestic Violence in Kurdistan Region, and strengthening the outreach capacities of the local Civil Societies Organisations working in the domain of GBV.
