At Azraq camp, @paolozingale, Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation in 🇯🇴, met refugee women preparing school meals that complement WFP assistance, helping children access nutritious food, stay focused in the classroom, and easing pressure on families’ limited resources.
During a visit to Zaatari camp, Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation in 🇯🇴 @paolozingale met trainees & saw how accredited vocational training helps refugees build skills to access future job opportunities. WFP thanks the EU for its continued support to refugee self-reliance.
🌍 This #WorldFoodDay, every meal is an investment in a better future. Through the National School Feeding Programme, WFP supports local farmers, bakeries and communities, helping nourish children while strengthening local livelihoods across Jordan.
At the launch of the National School Feeding Strategy 2026–2030, representatives from WFP_Jordan, @RHASJordan, the @edugovjo & the Higher Council for Food Security discussed the strategy’s vision, priorities & the way forward towards greater national ownership.
WFP Representative in Jordan, Antonella D’Aprile, reaffirmed WFP’s commitment to supporting the Government of Jordan in building a sustainable school feeding programme, investing in children’s health, education & future and laying the foundations for long-term national ownership
Today, Jordan launches its National School Feeding Strategy 2026–2030, setting a roadmap to expand healthy school meals, improve children’s nutrition & learning, and strengthen national ownership of a programme that invests in children’s future and supports local communities.

When funding needs to be stretched to cover critical needs in refugee camps in 🇯🇴, we come up with #new_approaches.
We (donors, UN, civil society) map transparently real priorities, costs and available funding, and explore how to fill the gaps together.

On #WorldTeachersDay, WFP celebrates the teachers who inspire, guide & support children every day.

Thank you, France 🇫🇷, for making this campaign possible! Together, we're taking the message across Jordan to help reduce food waste. #FoodLossAndWaste
Appreciate food. Don't waste it. #قدّرها_ولا_تهدرها
Keep an eye out. The campaign is just getting started 👀
👀 Have you spotted us around Amman?

Thank you, Italy 🇮🇹, for your generous contribution, which enabled WFP to continue providing healthy school meals to refugee children in Za’atari and Azraq camps this school year, while creating 170 employment opportunities through meal preparation & distribution.
During a visit to Azraq Camp, Members of the European Parliament received a briefing on WFP’s work and visited a WFP-contracted supermarket to see how our assistance supports refugee families. Thank you, EU 🇪🇺, for your continued support and efforts to empower refugees in Jordan.
Thank you, Germany 🇩🇪, for your longstanding support to WFP and refugees in Jordan. We were pleased to welcome H.E. Ambassador Bertram von Moltke to @ZaatariCamp, where he visited a WFP-contracted supermarket and saw how Germany’s support helps families access the food they need.

💰 Individual income more than tripled
🏠 Household income increased by a third
🌱 Savings & non-food expenditures grew
😊 Women reported significant improvements in life satisfaction
