abstract = "What does the situation for humanitarian workand intervention in Jordan look like from insidethe NGO sector?Do we supply demand-based or donor-based solutions to the current situation? And what are the most likely scenarios for the coming years in terms of changing the status quo? In this interview, Martin Fernando Jakobsen, CEO of Turning Tables, an NGO with long and significant experience working in Jordan, gives his reading of the current state of affairs. A key point Jakobsen makes is that there exists a discrepancy between the short-termism of funding schemes and the long-term prospects of actually effecting change. He highlights the importance of getting the target group involved in articulating their needs – not just through NGO interviews but through peer-to-peer research. He also remarks on the need to design exit strategies, such as business plans for each project, in order to make a difference in the longer term.",
