The UK mandated DCAF to identify security and justice challenges facing the youth in Jordan, in order to provide the UK with programming opportunities on community based SSG/R.

This task included:

• a rapid scoping of the safety, security and justice challenges facing youth in Jordan,
• a description of the ways in which youth and the security sector can meet and engage,
• and an account of international examples of youth-security sector engagement mechanisms.

This report outlines the ways in which youth and the security and justice sector engage. It also provides constructive comparison with common elements of the security engagement mechanisms in use in other parts of the world. These elements cover contextual analysis, linking local mechanisms to national mechanisms, representation and plurality, and contribution to conflict resolution.
