Jordan
Affiliated Response Innovation Lab
Overview
The affiliate lab is hosted by Majlisna - Civic Jordan. The Lab supports events, convening actors around humanitarian challenges, problem analysis, promotion of tested innovations, and the matching of problems with solutions. The lab acts as a sectoral innovation capacity within the country and supports any actor working within the humanitarian space.
Jordan is home to a vibrant and growing community of innovators, many of which are looking to help with the recovery from, preparedness toward, and resilience to natural disasters. While funding opportunities exist for commercial products, social entrepreneurs and innovative non-profits do not have access to the capital they need to prototype, test, and scale their solutions.
