Baseline Study: Enhancing Accessibility, Rehabilitation, and Community Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Amman, Karak, Zarqa, and Irbid

Community-Based Inclusive Development (CBID) Project – 2025 - 2028

King Hussein Foundation (KHF) in cooperation with CBM Christoffel Blindenmission

Strategic Context and Regional Imperatives

The "Enhancing Accessibility, Rehabilitation, and Community Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Amman, Karak, Zarqa, and Irbid" project is a three-year initiative (2025-2028) funded by the European Union (EU). The project is implemented by the King Hussein Foundation (KHF) in collaboration with CBM Christoffel Blindenmission (CBM). Its overarching goal is to improve the quality of life and foster the social, economic, and political participation of persons with disabilities in local communities across the four target governorates.

Project Implementation Plan (Years 1–3)

The 36-month timeline begins with a critical inception period.

Baseline Study: Terms of Reference

This section serves as the formal Terms of Reference (ToR) for the baseline study, which is a participatory community mapping and assessment exercise rather than a standard data collection activity. It establishes the evidence base for refining the project's action plan and measuring long-term impact.

Overall Objective of the Baseline Study
To collect comprehensive data on the current situation in the targeted communities to establish a benchmark against which the project's progress and impact can be measured. It will assess and explore community perceptions to understand the needs, aspirations, and barriers faced by persons with disabilities, their families, and other community members, analyzing the existing culture of inclusion.

Specific Objectives of the Baseline Study
The study will focus on four key interlinked areas:

1. Participatory Community Mapping

2. OPD Engagement and Capacity Assessment

3. Stakeholder Analysis

4. Community Self-Assessment

Methodological Skills: Strong analytical skills in quantitative and qualitative research methods, including data disaggregation. Knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive, participatory research methods with persons with diverse impairments is essential.
