Community Based Health and First Aid in Action - Internal Evaluation Report - Jordan

The project ‘Enabling healthy and safe living in families affected by the Syrian crisis in Jordan’ was implemented through Jordan Red Crescent (JRC) with the technical support of IFRC and funding from the Government of Japan. The activities were implemented from February 2014 until November 2014 in the governorates of Irbid, Mafraq, Jerash, Ajloun and Amman. A total of 20 communities and 6,000 beneficiaries were targeted. The Federation’s community health promotion approach, community based health and first aid in action (CBHFA) was introduced for the first time in JRC. The CBHFA approach seeks to create healthy, resilient communities worldwide. CBHFA comprises a comprehensive approach to primary health care, first aid and emergency health preparedness at community level. It mobilizes communities and their volunteers to use simple tools, adapted to local context to address the priority health needs of a community and to empower them to be in charge of their own development and health outcomes.
