In Jordan, we have been faced with this challenge since the beginning of the Syrian crisis. Today, Syrian refugees alone constitute 20 per cent of my country’s population. We have been taking on a significant part of the burden of this humanitarian disaster off the international community’s shoulders since the beginning. However, support to our country has been a small fraction of the costs we have endured. It is high time that the international community acts collectively in facing this unprecedented humanitarian crisis, and supports countries like Jordan and Lebanon which have been carrying the brunt of this burden over the past years.” His Majesty King Abdullah II 70th Plenary Session of the United Nations General Assembly, United Nations, 28 September 2015 Executive Summary The Jordan Response Plan to the Syria Crisis 2016 – 2018 represents a three-year programme of high priority interventions to enable the Kingdom of Jordan to respond to the effects of the Syria crisis without jeopardizing its development trajectory. Situation Analysis Five years into the crisis the prospects for a prompt return of the millions of Syrian refugees to their home country are remote. Even in the unlikely event of a solution to the crisis, it will take more than a decade for the country to rebuild. While some Syrian refugees will return and others may attempt to relocate to third-countries, the majority are expected to remain till the end of the crisis in those countries neighbouring Syria that have generously sheltered them for the past five years. For host nations, the magnitude and longevity of the crisis will likely translate into mounting costs and ever-increasing challenges to the social, economic and political fabric of the country. Jordan is host to about 1.4 million Syrians1, including around 630,000 refugees2. While some 83 per cent of all refugees have settled in host communities, particularly in the urban area of Amman and the northern governorates of Jordan, the remaining are hosted in refugee camps. In providing for their needs, Jordan has received support from the international community. Funding, however, has not been proportionate to meet all response requirements, and whereas needs are increasing in some sectors, trends in contributions for 2015 suggest that overall international support has not kept pace with the needs. By November 2015, roughly US$1.07 billion had been committed to the JRP2015, which corresponds to 36 per cent of the funding requirements.3 Meanwhile, refugee communities are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Although refugee inflows can present opportunities for important transformations, funding shortfalls have contributed to increased pressure on national services and infrastructure thereby affecting Jordan’s resilience. Overcrowded health centres and schools, overstretched water, sanitation and municipal services, as well as pressures on the environment, labour and housing markets have left Jordanians feeling increasingly disenfranchised and neglected. Slower-than-forecasted macroeconomic performance and pressure on public spending continues to limit Jordan’s ability to invest in development, ultimately eroding the country’s capacity to maintain its developmental gains and deal with future challenges. 1 Exact numbers are expected to be provided following the completion of the 2015 national census. 2 A total of 629,627 refugees are registered

  • Syrian Refugees in Host Communities
    Syrian Refugees in Host Communities Key Informant Interviews / District Profiling January 2014 This project has been implemented with the support of: Syrian Refugees in Host Communities: Key Informant Interviews and District Profiling January 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the Syrian crisis extends into its third year, the number of Syrian refugees in Jordan continues to increase with the vast majority living in host communities outside of planned camps.1 This assessment was undertaken to gain an in-depth understanding of issues related to sector specific and municipal services. In total, 1,445 in-depth interviews were conducted in September and October 2013 with key informants who were identified as knowledgeable about the 446 surveyed communities. The information collected is disaggregated by key characteristics including access to essential services by Syrian refugees, and underlying factors such as the type and location of their shelters. This project was carried out to inform more effective humanitarian planning and interventions which target the needs of Syrian refugees in Jordanian host communities. The study provides a multi-sector profile for the 19 districts of northern Jordan where the majority of Syrian refugees reside2, focusing on access to municipal and other essential services by Syrian refugees, including primary access to basic services; barriers to accessing social services; trends over time; and the prioritised needs of refugees by sector. The project is funded by the British Embassy of Amman with the support of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The greatest challenge faced by Syrian refugees is access to cash, specifically cash for rent, followed by access to food assistance and non-food items for the winter season.
