Findings of the Households Assessments of Syrian Households in Host Communities Irbid Governorate 25Th February 2013 BACKGROUND Findings of the Households Assessments of Syrian Households in Host Communities Irbid Governorate 25th February 2013 BACKGROUND The continued crisis in Syria has caused a large influx of Syrians into Jordan, amounting to more than 242,162 refugees (UNHCR, 25.02.2013). According to UNHCR registration data, more than 90% have settled in Northern Jordan, as well as the urban and peri- urban centres of Amman and Zarqa, with the large majority of refugees settling within host communities. Information management systems available to humanitarian actors have struggled to keep pace with the rapidly changing refugee context. With this in mind, REACH was deployed to Jordan in October 2012 in order to complement information management efforts undertaken by other humanitarian actors, notably by UN agencies, and to contribute towards addressing information gaps on Syrian refugees located in camps and host communities. By establishing a baseline dataset that includes key information on the geographical distribution, conditions and priority needs of Syrian refugees, REACH aims to ensure better planning, coordination and traceability of humanitarian aid. The data presented in this factsheet represents the findings of household level interviews that were conducted in the host communities of Irbid Governorate in December 2012. During this phase of the project, 8,903 displaced Syrian households, representing 38,479 individuals, were assessed. The household assessments focused on collecting five key sets of information from each households: 1. Household demographic data; 2. Registration card numbers; 3. Displacement profile; 4. Accommodation context; 5. Services and Needs. Additionally, assessment team leaders collected GPS data for each building housing Syrian refugee households in order to allow for the mapping of key data trends discovered through the analysis of collected data. Assessment Methodology REACH’s assessment methodology is based on a three step approach to data collection that gradually sharpens the understanding of the context both in terms of geographical focus as well as depth of data, as shown in the figure below. The objective of this process is to provide humanitarian actors with information that allows for more informed decision-making with regards to their targeting of specific geographic locations or beneficiary group based on their programme planning needs; thus enabling better planning, coordination and traceability of aid. As such the REACH methodology (outlined in the figure below) focuses primarily on the geographic identification of refugees living in host communities and collects a core baseline of household specific information that enables the preparation of situational analyses. - Division of an area of intervention into neighbourhoods/mantikas as basic service units Phase I; Identification of Community (BSUs) that have the attributes of having boundaries that can be defined with a similar Units (BSUs) understanding by different community individuals or groups. Key Informant interviews are conducted within each BSU to collect information that can inform later steps in the process. Phase II; HH - Household level assessment including demographic data, accommodation status, Survey and registration status, protection concerns, displacement profile, and needs / access to basic Context Analysis services. Collection of secondary data to support the analysis will be conducted. Phase III; - Targeted programme assessment of areas in which refugee families are located according to project needs Thematic / assessment ToRs. Use of BSUs to link with community leaders to facilitate access to all groups and analysis specifically most vulnerable households. Collected data informs programme planning and implementation.

In the early 70’s, Jordan established programmes to promote dairy farming - new breeds of more productive dairy cows were imported, farmers learned to comply with top industry operating standards, and the latest technologies in processing, packaging and distribution were introduced. Today there are 25 large dairy companies across Jordan. However inefficient production techniques, scarce water and feed resources and limited access to veterinary care have limited overall growth. While milk production continues to steadily increase—with 462,000 MT produced (78% of the market demand) in 2015 according to the Ministry of Agriculture—the country is well below the production levels required for self-sufficiency. The initial focus of the assessment was on cow milk, however sheep and goat milk were discovered to play a more important role in livelihoods of poor households, and therefore they were included during the course of the assessment. Sheep and goats are better adapted to a semi-arid climate, and sheep represent about 66 percent of livestock in Jordan.

  • Chapter 4 Allocated Water to Irbid and Ramtha
    CHAPTER 4 ALLOCATED WATER TO IRBID AND RAMTHA With fixed available water resource for the northern governorates in future, allocated water to the Study Area (Irbid and Ramtha) is estimated in this Chapter. Allocation is made based on sub-transmission zones first and then to the Study Area because water transfer based on water allocation will be made through main transmission line and sub-transmission line. Population and water demand in the northern governorates is estimated and distributed to each locality in the northern governorates. Then, allocated water to the Study Area is estimated. Based on allocated water, distribution facilities in the Study Area are planned in the following Chapters. The sub-transmission lines are defined as branch lines from the main transmission line. Sub-transmission zones are defined as water supply zones to which water is supplied from sub-transmission lines. 4.1 Water Demand Estimation in Northern Governorates 4.1.1 Population (1) Population by Governorate Population estimated by Department of Statistics (DOS) is used in this Study. DOS estimates governorate population with different growth rates; low growth rate in Amman and Irbid governorates and high growth rates in Mafraq, Jerash and Ajloun governorates. The estimated population for the northern governorates up to 2035 is shown in Table 4.1 and Figure 4.1. The estimated populations in the governorates are almost the same as used in the Water Reallocation Strategy 2010 where estimated populations in 2035 are 1.81 million in Irbid, 0.23 million in Ajloun, 0.31 million in Jerash and 0.48 million in Mafraq, totaling to 2.83 million.

  • Chapter IV: the Implications of the Crisis on Host Communities in Irbid
    Chapter IV The Implications of the Crisis on Host Communities in Irbid and Mafraq – A Socio-Economic Perspective With the beginning of the first quarter of 2011, Syrian refugees poured into Jordan, fleeing the instability of their country in the wake of the Arab Spring. Throughout the two years that followed, their numbers doubled and had a clear impact on the bor- dering governorates, namely Mafraq and Irbid, which share a border with Syria ex- tending some 375 kilometers and which host the largest portion of refugees. Official statistics estimated that at the end of 2013 there were around 600,000 refugees, of whom 170,881 and 124,624 were hosted by the local communities of Mafraq and Ir- bid, respectively. This means that the two governorates are hosting around half of the UNHCR-registered refugees in Jordan. The accompanying official financial burden on Jordan, as estimated by some inter- national studies, stood at around US$2.1 billion in 2013 and is expected to hit US$3.2 billion in 2014. This chapter discusses the socio-economic impact of Syrian refugees on the host communities in both governorates. Relevant data has been derived from those studies conducted for the same purpose, in addition to field visits conducted by the research team and interviews conducted with those in charge, local community members and some refugees in these two governorates. 1. Overview of Mafraq and Irbid Governorates It is relevant to give a brief account of the administrative structure, demographics and financial conditions of the two governorates. Mafraq Governorate Mafraq governorate is situated in the north-eastern part of the Kingdom and it borders Iraq (east and north), Syria (north) and Saudi Arabia (south and east).

Mustafa1, Dana H. Hijjawi2 and Fadi Bala'awi3 Abstract This paper aims at shedding the light on the different impacts of tourism development in the site of Umm Qais (Gadara) in Jordan. Despite the economic benefits gained by tourism, deterioration has been witnessed in this site due to damage of archaeological features as well as the displacement of the local community. Implications were suggested to achieve a more sustainable tourism development in the site. Keywords: Umm Qais (Gadara), Tourism impacts, Sustainable development, Local community of Umm Qais. Introduction The Site of Umm Qais (the Greco-Roman Decapolis town of Gadara) is 120 Km north of Amman, and 30 Km northwest of Irbid (both located in Jordan). The site is 518 meters above sea level and is over looking both Lake Tiberias and the Golan Heights, which creates a great point to watch nearby lands across the borders (Teller, 2006) (Map 1). The city was mentioned in the New Testament as χωρά των͂ Γαδαρηνων,͂ (chorā̇ ton̄̇ Gadarenō n)̄̇ or “country of the Gadarenes” (Matthew 8:28), it's the place where Jesus casted out the devil from two men into a herd of pigs (Matthew 8: 28-34), mentioned as well in the parallel passages as (Mark 5:1; Luke 8:26, Luke 8:37): χωρά των͂ Γερασηνων,͂ chorā̇ ton̄̇ Gerasenō n̄̇ “country of the Gerasenes.” (Bible Hub Website: http://biblehub.com/commentaries/matthew/8-28.htm).

  • 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.
