Islamic Society in Jordan Trains ICDL through UNICEF-Funded Project
Specto has signed an agreement with the Islamic Society in Jordan to train ICDL
through a project called Makani (My Space) that is funded by UNICEF. As a first phase,
Specto has accredited 12 centers all over the country, after training the trainers at these
centers through specialized workshops. As a result, the trainers now possess all needed
skills after passing the relevant ICDL exams, and are able to provide the necessary
training to the candidates in the target groups.
Makani is an integrated programme that links interventions in education, child protection,
adolescent and youth engagement and participation. The Makani programme provides
comprehensive services to marginalized and vulnerable children and adolescents aged
6-18 years and their caregivers in a safe environment. UNICEF has developed Makani
with key private sector stakeholders, humanitarian organisations and the government of
Jordan, to provide the most vulnerable young people with access to demand-driven
skills-building training programmes, and opportunities to apply their skills in the real
world through youth-led projects and initiatives, with a specific and sustained focus on
girls and women.
