This case study comes from the Jordanian Civic Activists Toolkit II: Case Studies of Jordanian Advocacy Campaigns (Full Book).

About the Campaign

This campaign helped the Princess Basma Development Center – Al-Karak, under the umbrella of the Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Development (JOHUD), to work on a rights-based environmental, health, well-being and livelihood issue that helped build trust between civil society organizations, the local community, and the government bodies.

This campaign emerged as a result of the Princess Basma Development Center’s participation in the USAID Civic Initiatives Support Program (CIS) Advocacy Support Fund grant process. A primary component of the grant process included an advocacy training using the New Tactics in Human Rights Program’s Strategic Effectiveness Method which facilitates the collective identification of locally-defined priorities. As a result, Princess Basma Development Center launched the campaign, Enforcing national laws related to dealing with wastewater treatment in Wadi Al-Karak/Al-Karak Governate.
