Impact Investment | Blended Finance
- – The world is undergoing one of the worst refugee crisis since World War II, and Jordan is one of the most affected countries both in absolute and relative terms
- – While many humanitarian relief & infrastructure investment efforts exist, the funding ecosystem under-serves SMEs & entrepreneurs which cater to refugee needs
- – The social impact investment component with a triple bottom-line impact is more than attainable in the refugee context, but until now little has been done outside the pure aid sphere
- – Vehicle is needed to fill the void by institutionalising venture / SME investment & nurture entrepreneurship for one of the most vulnerable demographic segments
- – Given the specifics of refugee finance, in particular if in a hybrid commercial effort, we are looking for interested parties to become cooperating partners in developing this initiative further…

Pentagon Unveils New Testing Process For US Generals Authored by Jackson Richman via The Epoch Times, The Pentagon is changing its process for promoting generals, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on Sept. 22. Hegseth announced the new process, known as the Joint Warfighter Evaluation, in a video posted on X. Today, I am announcing the Joint Warfighter Evaluation. pic.twitter.com/F0JIfbmEKs — Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (@SecWar) September 22, 2026 Its goal is to reduce bureaucracy and ensure meritocracy across senior ranks, he said. Starting this year, colonels and Navy captains screening to be a one-star general will undergo the assessment, according to Hegseth. “While the backbone of our military is our NCOs and our petty officers, victory depends on the commanders who lead them,” [...]
White House Cancels Coverage For 750,000 ACA Enrollees, Citing Fraud Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that about 750,000 people on Affordable Care Act plans were never entitled to the coverage, and that pulling their subsidies will save taxpayers $2.2 billion. Mehmet Oz, who runs the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, stood with him. The savings number is an administration estimate. The Congressional Budget Office has not scored it. CMS had already acted. Rulemaking documents posted Tuesday in the Federal Register say the agency canceled 315,000 marketplace policies on Aug. 31, covering roughly 760,000 people, which the rule describes as unauthorized enrollments submitted through agents and brokers. Vance's 750,000 and the 760,000 covered lives are the same purge, counted two ways. Officials also plan [...]
At Least 150 Killed In Yemen Within Two Days Amid Indiscriminate Saudi Air Campaign Authored by News Desk via The Cradle, At least 150 people have been killed in Yemen since Sunday as Saudi warplanes launch indiscriminate strikes across the country and clashes continue between Ansarallah-led forces and Riyadh-backed proxies. (Photo credit: Reuters)"The death toll from Saudi airstrikes, clashes, and artillery fire in the governorates of Taiz, Al-Jawf, Marib and Saada stands at 118," AFP reported on 22 September, citing what it said were Ansarallah-linked military sources. Sources close to the internationally recognized government, supported by Riyadh, say 36 of their fighters have been killed, according to AFP. Sirens sounded in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday due to more Yemeni strikes launched in response to the [...]
California Declares State Of Emergency Ahead Of Strong El Niño Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Sept. 21 as the state prepares for what he described as the strongest El Niño storm season on record. Newsom said the emergency declaration would allow state agencies to act more quickly for potential severe weather, including securing roads and critical infrastructure, positioning emergency supplies, and helping local partners to mitigate flood, landslide, and coastal risks. "That is what this action is about. Giving communities the support they need, giving first responders the tools to do their jobs, and giving families the confidence that their state is ready," he said in a statement. The proclamation directs state [...]
The Riots Never Came: Has The Protest Machine Stalled, Or Is It Regrouping Summer has ended without riots. In Part One, we examined whether Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's crackdown on NGOs was having an effect. We now revisit that question, examining the far-left groups and subversion networks involved in mounting a revolution against the U.S. The National Network on Cuba released a "National Rapid Response Plan" that called for nationwide actions against U.S. bases, ICE, and other federal facilities. Nothing happened. Black Alliance for Peace published an interactive map of U.S. military bases, urging their followers to use the map to find facilities in their communities and "strategize how and where to organize and agitate." Again, Nothing happened. The Marxist Neville Roy Singham network, which [...]
