(MENAFN) The National Council for Family Affairs (NCFA) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening Jordan’s systems for early childhood development, family welfare, and the protection of women and children.
The agreement was signed during events marking the International Day of Families on May 15, with participation from NCFA Secretary-General Mohammad Meqdadi and IRC Jordan Country Director Eka Zhvania, according to the Jordan News Agency (Petra).
Under the partnership, both sides will work to enhance Jordan’s national quality management system for childcare centres, focusing on improving standards of safety, accountability, and service quality in early childhood care.
