The President of the General Assembly on Tuesday visited the UN in Jordan and had a meeting with all 17 funds and programmes in Amman. He heard about their difficult tasks and substantial achievements.
Jordan is one of the countries with most refugees compared to its population and has in recent years received several hundred thousand refugees from Syria.
The President was informed about school programmes for refugee children, the polio vaccination programme, the cash assistance programme for refugees – just a few of the many activities lead by the UN funds and programmes in Jordan.
The Sustainable Development Goals and the actions that should be taken in order to achieve a fast implementation were also discussed.
