Description
Summary:	Based on a hypothetical scenario, this case helps readers understand how an international NGO can function in Jordan--which has strict policies in terms of what an NGO can and cannot do--while working with refugee populations. The extent of compromise an NGO must accept in its mission to work with such a government (and get access to people and funds) is at the heart of this case. While the government of Jordan has specific laws in place to protect refugees who are in the country, it does not allow international NGOs (INGOs) to operate freely. The case examines the phenomenon of a possible "mission drift" and offers a complex scenario for students to examine. The tensions of an NGO in balancing ideals and real-world constraints are examined in detail, and students will be able to understand the intricacies of working in an international humanitarian context through this case.
