Jordan River Community Empowerment Program
Launched in 1997, the Jordan River Community Empowerment Program (JRCEP) offers economic opportunities for local communities and refugees to help improve their livelihoods and that of their families. JRCEP develops and implements projects and training programs that enable communities to articulate their needs and facilitate their contribution to their own economic and social prosperity.
It also aims to mobilize members of vulnerable communities with the potential to become entrepreneurs or employees of choice. The overall objective is to increase household income through: micro and small enterprises, entrepreneurship, job placement, workforce readiness and access to financial resources.
