Mabrouk “ Congratulations” –
Phase One
Objective: Raise the awareness
of the newly wed couples in FP/RH
Partners: MOH, MOA&IA &
HPC
Channels: Ma’azoons, Shari’s
judges and priests when signing
the marriage contract
Phase 1- Lessons Learned
Shift to MOI
• Lack of effective monitoring and evaluation systems
• Handling procedures were not institutionalized.
Therefore, MOI represented the best systematic
institution to adopt initiatives.
• MOI/ CSPD tracks Jordanian citizens (target audience
segmented) throughout their different life stages
(birth, passports, marriage, children and death
certificates)

new parents at key FP/RH decisionmaking junctions
