      <image:caption>“In our culture, men take it upon themselves to protect women and tend to their security. This means that extra effort is required of a woman before she is able to stand alone and convince men of her capability to carry out such tasks.

Nonetheless, when you take operational training and take up an operational role, this type of protective fear will fade.” Female Warrant Officer- Jordanian security services</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home Old - Our Story</image:title>
      <image:caption>ARK was created in order to assist the most vulnerable, particularly refugees, the displaced and those impacted by conflict and instability.  This reflects the background and experience of ARK’s founder Alistair Harris, whose formative early years were spent seeking to understand and positively impact ethno-sectarian conflict, from Northern Ireland to the Balkans, as well as seek justice for victims of gross human rights violations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home Old - Our Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>We believe that strong, resilient communities are the foundation of local, national, regional and international development and stability – and ultimately a safer, peaceful and more prosperous world. At ARK, we have delivered research and programmatic interventions validating this approach in over twenty countries since 2008. As a social enterprise we work in partnership with communities, our donors, and other implementers to build local capacities, generate opportunity and bring about sustainable change.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Work - Design, Monitoring, Evaluating + Learning</image:title>
      <image:caption>At ARK, we are committed to ensuring our projects are of meaningful benefit to the communities in which we work. We strive to continually improve our programming through rigorous monitoring, evaluation and learning that enables us to adjust and improve programme designs to better achieve our goals. Given the nature of the environments in which we work, this requires ongoing innovation of new tools to overcome constraints on measuring impact–whether they relate to access, attribution or the need for accountability to all programme stakeholders. Our experienced, multilingual DMEL teams are trained in the most up-to-date evaluation techniques as well as different donors’ reporting requirements.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Our partners and beneficiaries are at the centre of our work. Using Organisational Capacity Assessments and tailored training we support partners and beneficiaries to become self-sustainable and continue progress towards our shared goals. Using a ‘train-the-trainer’ approach, we prepare our partners to build the capacity of others in their communities, ensuring the long-term sustainability and impact of interventions. Since our founding in 2008, we have helped establish and grow the capability of hundreds of Civil Society and Community-Based Organisation across the world.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Conflict combined with Covid-19 have exacerbated the vulnerability of people in Yemen. More than one million more people in Yemen will face acute food insecurity by the end of 2020, making a degree of self-sufficiency critical for local communities. As a result, we worked with partners across Yemen to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities. Our belief is that increased employment opportunities like these will build resilience within vulnerable communities in Yemen.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Working with 12 NGOs and five research centres throughout Morocco, we launched a research project exploring the impact of Covid-19 and governmental responses to the pandemic, integrating citizen’s views as action-research projects were designed with beneficiaries’ input, based on a rapid participatory appraisal (RPA) methodology that puts beneficiaries (citizens) at the heart of public policy research. Research areas including social services (social protection &amp; psycho-social), civil rights (women’s and human rights), private sector development, education and health will then form the basis of advocacy projects delivered in 2021.</image:caption>

      <image:title>OUR IMPACT - Adapting Delivery to COVID-19 - The Refugees Making PPE in Lebanon: A Sustainable Public Health Initiative</image:title>
      <image:caption>Responding to the spread of COVID-19 in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, ARK’s partners the Palestinian NGO, Ahlam Laje’ and local volunteer Palestinian Civil Defence (PCD) teams created a workshop to produce PPE conforming to WHO standards. Using an initial grant from the UK Embassy in Lebanon, our teams imported machinery from Germany and material from Saudi Arabia. As well as masks the teams produced protective suits for volunteers who were carrying out sanitation campaigns in the camps. This delivery approach ensured that masks were given away free to vulnerable Syrian, Iraqi and Palestinian refugees living in the camps, as well as near-camp Lebanese communities unable to afford PPE. The remainder were sold at highly competitive prices, generating revenue that could then be reinvested in new materials, as well as contribute to the operational costs of both partner groups, ensuring sustainability.</image:caption>

      <image:title>OUR IMPACT - Adapting Delivery to COVID-19 - Hybrid Training in Jordan: Working through Lockdown</image:title>
      <image:caption>We were engaged on a project designed to enhance the Jordanian Gendarmerie’s Critical Incident Response Capabilities through Gender Integration. The training conducted between March and November 2020 was Covid 19-compliant and delivered using two classrooms, social distancing, pre-course medical checks, screening, and the use of PPE. Following the re-opening of the international airport in September 2020, our SMEs returned to Jordan. Following a fourteen-day quarantine, training activities resumed with a Train the Trainer (TtT) Tactical Firearms and Search course and a Foundation Tactical Medic course. In a similar fashion, when delivering training to government clients around the world in person became unfeasible, we implemented a cyber-secure virtual learning environment with all the normal elements of a classroom such as white boards, break-out rooms, and screen sharing.  The virtual classroom also contains a lab environment which allows students to access the software they are being trained on and interact with their instructor.</image:caption>

      <image:title>OUR IMPACT - Adapting Delivery to COVID-19 - Augmenting physical with virtual space in Jordan</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jordanians were placed under one of the world’s strictest Covid-19 measures – lockdowns, curfews, driving bans and governorates cut off from others. These restrictions brought the topic of one our Jordanian projects into sharp relief, that of public space. Our project was originally designed to provide more physical safe spaces to ameliorate tensions and youth anxiety… so, how then could we continue when the very idea of ‘socialising’ was all but banned? The project moved online. Along with our partners we were able to create and build a community-focused youth platform, hosted on social media, and curated by Jordanian youth in target cities. The platform flourished, and quickly became a virtual meeting place for Jordanian youth to share ideas, debate, celebrate creativity, activity and socialise.</image:caption>

      <image:title>OUR IMPACT - Adapting Delivery to COVID-19 - Adapting Survey Methods to Remain Covid-19 Compliant</image:title>
      <image:caption>To minimise risk related to the transmission of COVID-19 in Lebanon, we adopted the use of a remote method of data collection for the nationwide social tensions research we undertake for UNDP. The approach to sampling and surveying was adapted from recent innovations in the Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) method. Like snowball sampling, RDS relies on chain referral for the recruitment of individuals into the sample (a non-random method of recruitment); however, unlike snowball sampling, RDS is grounded in statistical theory. We also included questions related to the impact of Covid-19 and the government’s response to it to assess the impact of the pandemic on vulnerability and social cohesion.</image:caption>
