As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting refugees and host communities, the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) participated, as a founding member of The Jordan Whole of Society Network for Displacement, in the National Forum to Review Refugee Pledges, held in Amman on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, under the theme: “From Pledges to Meaningful Impact for Refugees and Host Communities.”
The event was organized within the framework of the Global Refugee Forum.
The forum brought together representatives from the Government of Jordan, international organizations, civil society, the private sector, and the academic community to review progress in implementing Jordan’s pledges towards refugees and to explore ways to develop more sustainable, just, and inclusive responses aligned with the Global Compact on Refugees.
Discussions focused on evaluating existing commitments in light of shifting political and funding contexts, expanding partnerships, and promoting innovative, multi-stakeholder solutions in line with the Global Compact on Refugees.
During the forum, the Jordan Whole of Society Network for Displacement emphasized the importance of collaborative, participatory approaches among diverse actors, as well as developing partnership-based and multi-level advocacy frameworks to ensure the protection of refugees and the support of host communities alike.
It is worth noting that ARDD will also participate in the Global Refugee Forum 2025 progress review sessions, to be held in Geneva in December, through its Legal Advisor, Adv. Rami Qweider, representing the organization. This participation marks an important step in amplifying Jordanian civil society’s voice internationally and contributing to the development of a sustainable framework for responding to refugee situations in Jordan and the region.
Since its establishment in 2008, ARDD has continued its efforts through its Protection and Relief Program, providing free, comprehensive legal aid services addressing both prevention and response. Through its programs on migration, forced displacement, asylum, and statelessness across the Arab region, and through the Renaissance Strategic Center, ARDD works to advocate at local, regional, and international levels, addressing the challenges faced by refugees, migrants, internally displaced persons, and stateless individuals by providing platforms for dialogue, education, analysis, communication, and participation on issues affecting these vulnerable groups.
