Project Officer - Technical Oversight & Quality Assurance

ANERA BACKGROUND:
Since 1968, Anera has helped refugees and others hurt by conflicts in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan live
with purpose and hope.
Anera, which has no political or religious affiliation, works on the ground with partners in Palestine (West
Bank and Gaza), Lebanon and Jordan. We mobilize resources for immediate emergency relief and for
sustainable, long-term health, education, and economic development. Our staff serve in their
communities, navigating the politics that constrict progress to get help where it’s needed most.
That’s how Anera received more than $171 million in support of programs in 2023 alone, and it’s how we
will keep building better lives until hope finds its way in the Middle East.
