Training of disadvantaged communities to solve their own strategic problems

In what city, town, or region is your solution team based?

Amman, Jordan

Who is the Team Lead for your solution?

Prof. Dr. Ahmad Al-Nuaimi

Which Challenge Area does your solution most closely address?

Recover (Improve health & economic system resilience), such as: Best protective interventions, especially for vulnerable populations, Avoid/mitigate negative second-order consequences, Integrate true costs of pandemic risk into economic systems

What specific problem are you solving?

We seek to contribute to solving the following problems:

1- Planting more trees in developing countries, especially countries with a desert nature such as some Arab countries (we have strong creative ideas in this aspect). For example, the desert constitutes about 75% of the area of Jordan.

2- Stopping the population explosion in the Arab countries by convincing people that overpopulation is a major cause of the high rates of poverty, unemployment and crime (we have strong creative ideas in this aspect).

3- Expanding the concept of blended education to include the integration of school education in technology, the integration of people with special needs in the educational process, the integration of males and females in one classroom, the integration of man with nature as our first security.

4- This guarantees proactive solutions to epidemics and climate problems.

Who does your solution serve, and what needs of theirs does it address?

The target audience is the marginalized audience and disadvantaged groups, we also target people with poor education, and we meet their needs by addressing them in their language, and providing services to them for free, and they are our partners in developing the solution, and they help us understand their needs and concerns, and we understand their needs through our direct communication with them, and often we use:

A. Note lists.

B. Structured observation.

C. Questionnaires and polls.

D. The use of statistical analyses of proven competence.

E. Personal interviews.

F- Factual records.

G- Appraisal Scales.

H- Using any scientific or knowledge developments in this field.

What is your solution’s stage of development?

Growth: An initiative, venture, or organisation with an established product, service, or business/policy model rolled out in one or, ideally, several contexts or communities, which is poised for further growth
