During her talk, Ruba Ahmad spoke to us about ARRD and all the great work they do in the development field. She is a political scientist and a sociologist, concentrating in policy making that facilitates human rights dialogue and socio-economic change. She discussed the contemporary situation in Jordan, as well as Jordan’s role and relationship regarding the region’s refugee crisis.
