Institutional Capacity Building for CSOs on Community Cohesion in Jordan | 2020–2021 |
Edmaaj delivered institutional capacity-building support for civil society organizations (CSOs) working on community cohesion, as part of a project led by the Norwegian Embassy and Al Hayat Center. The training aimed to strengthen CSO capacity to prevent violent extremism and promote social resilience across Jordanian communities.
The program began with a two-day online training on needs assessment methodologies for 15 partner CSOs, enabling them to identify community priorities and produce detailed assessment reports. This was followed by a two-day training on project design and management, covering topics such as monitoring and evaluation, stakeholder engagement, communication, and sustainability.
Edmaaj provided ongoing consultation and coaching to support the implementation of community-based initiatives. Handout materials were developed for each training topic, and final reports documenting project outcomes were submitted. The initiative significantly improved the ability of CSOs to design and implement impactful, community-driven responses to social cohesion challenges.

Social Impact Assessment for Citizen-Centred Digital Governance Reform in Jordan |2023|
Edmaaj conducted a Social Impact Assessment as part of a national initiative to enhance government efficiency, transparency, accountability, and service delivery in Jordan through citizen-centred digital transformation. The project aimed to leverage digital tools to make public services more accessible, responsive, and inclusive.
In line with World Bank Group Environmental and Social (E&S) standards, Edmaaj assessed potential social risks associated with the digital reform programme. Activities included field visits, a social systems assessment, and an evaluation of grievance redress mechanisms (GRMs) and institutional capacity. Edmaaj also developed safeguard documentation and coordinated closely with relevant ministries and implementing agencies.
The assessment produced clear recommendations to strengthen social management systems and ensure alignment with global social safeguard standards. Edmaaj worked in collaboration with environmental safeguard specialists to integrate social considerations into project design and implementation tools.
