Call for Applications: Bridge CRPD-SDGs Jordan

The Arab Organization of Persons with Disabilities (AOPD), International Disability Alliance (IDA), CBM International and its partner the Al Hussein Society, and the International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC) is calling for applications for the Bridge CRPD-SDGs cycle in Jordan. 

This cycle is only open to participants from OPDs based in Jordan. We look forward to 25 participants representing all the 12 governorates of Jordan as far as possible. 

The training will take place between 23 - 29 July 2024 in Jordan. The deadline for the application is June 14, 2024. 

This Module will be held in Arabic, with simultaneous interpretation in Jordanian Sign Language. Reasonable accommodations will be provided to selected participants upon request. 

The intake of participants will be guided by the Bridge CRPD-SDGs Quality Criteria. 

Persons with disabilities from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. We welcome applications from all ages, levels of experience, all levels of literacy, and across the diversity of the disability movement, especially from those groups who face high restrictions in participation. 

Please read the call for applications for more details on the training, and see our Bridge CRPD-SDGs page for information on the imitative and previous trainings.

2. An updated brief CV, not more than 2 pages long. Please include your gender, date of birth and if you are a person with a disability, your impairment group.
   
3.
