It is based on an extensive literature review and empirical research conducted in Jordan by the authors of this study from February to April 2019. Accordingly, the report takes into account all developments that took place up to 2019 but not more recent ones, especially not what happened with the CfW programmes in Jordan during the COVID-19 crisis. Preliminary findings of the research project have been presented and discussed at several workshops and conferences: 17 and 25 April 2019 in Amman; 14 May 2019 in Luxemburg; 27 May 2019 and 4 December 2019 in Bonn; 6 November 2019 in Frankfurt on Main; 31 October 2019 in Cairo; and 25 August 2020 at the ERF Annual Conference Webinar Series. We did our best to take all feedback to the preliminary findings into consideration when writing the final draft of this report between January and May 2020. We should stress that the results, even though preliminary, have received substantial attention in the Jordanian media: for example, on 27 April 2019, the Jordan Times reported in details on the DIE research project (“CfW programmes exhibit”, 2019). In this report, all names of persons are spelled as the individuals wished. The names of towns and other geographical terms have been transliterated into English according to American Library Association and the Library of Congress (ALA-LC) guidelines, the city of Amman being the only exception because its name is regularly cited in press and academic papers in the same non-ALA-LC-conform way. By agreement, quotations by our interviewees cannot be attributed by name, date, or affiliation. We promised them beforehand to treat all information given by them confidentially. Most sincere thanks go to all persons in Jordan, Germany and elsewhere who have supported us in our research. In particular, we express our deep gratitude to all interlocutors for their cooperation and the warm and pleasant atmosphere we were received in. Our very special thanks are addressed to the Jordanian Center for Strategic Studies (CSS) at the University of Jordan, and in particular to Yasmin AlDamen for her excellent and diligent support and feedback to our research. In addition, we are also most grateful to Julie Weltzien and her entire team of the GIZ project Improvement of Green Infrastructure in Jordan, who have supported our empirical research tremendously and allowed us to use the data collected during the first round of their GIZ Post-employment Survey conducted between January and November 2019. In this respect, we are heavily indebted to our student assistant Radwa Hosny, who supported us with the cleaning and statistical analysis of the quantitative data. Finally, we express our most sincere thanks to all our interpreters as well as our bus drivers – without them, our research would not have been possible. We are grateful for all the helpful feedback and comments we received on earlier drafts of this study, from Assia Aldhabbi, Yasmin AlDamen (CSS), Tilman Altenburg (DIE), Ines Dombrowsky (DIE), Charlotte Fiedler (DIE), Lukas Frank (KfW), Anja Gaentzsch (BMZ), Jörn Grävingholt (DIE), Nico Herforth (DEval), Lisa Klinger (GIZ), Alexander Kocks (DEval), Maria Ghauri-van Kruijsdijk (GIZ), Jana Kuhnt (DIE), Kathrin Löber (BMZ), Sarah Christin Meier (KfW), Silvia Morgenroth (BMZ), Karina Mross (DIE), Franke Neumann-Silkow (GIZ), Jakob Rieken (GIZ), Nicole Roy (GIZ), Helge Roxin (DEval), Imme Scholz (DIE), Ralf Senzel (GIZ), Bernhard Trautner (DIE), Helke Wälde (KfW), Ruben Wedel (DEval), Julie Weltzien (GIZ) and Bettina Zoch-Oezel (KfW).

  • 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.

  • JICA's Cooperation for Water Sector in Jordan
    JICA’s Cooperation for Water Sector in Jordan 30 years history of remarkable achievements 1 | P a g e Message from Chief Representative of JICA Jordan Mr. TANAKA Toshiaki Japanese ODA to Jordan started much earlier than the establishment of JICA office. The first ODA loan to Jordan was provided in 1974, the same year when Embassy of Japan in Jordan was established. The first technical cooperation project started in 1977, though technical cooperation to Jordan may have started earlier, and the first grant aid to Jordan was provided in 1979. Since then, the Government of Japan has provided Jordan with total amount of more than 200 billion Japanese yen as ODA loan, more than 60 billion yen as Grant aid and nearly 30 billion yen as technical cooperation. In 1985, two agreements between the two countries on JICA activities were concluded. One is the technical cooperation agreement and the other is the agreement on Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers. On the basis of the agreement, JICA started JOCV program in Jordan and established JOCV coordination office which was followed by the establishment of JICA Jordan office. For the promotion of South-South Cooperation in the region, Japan-Jordan Partnership Program was agreed in 2004, furthering Jordan’s position as a donor country and entering a new stage of relationship between the two countries. In 2006, Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) inaugurated Amman office, which was integrated with JICA Jordan office in 2008 when new JICA was established as a result of a merger of JICA with ODA loan operation of JBIC.

Outline of the Country (1) Land and Nature Jordan, formally known as the Hashemite Kingdome of Jordan, has an area of about 89,000 km2, surrounded by Syria on the north and Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Israel in a clockwise order. Its coastline is only 15 km on the south end facing the Gulf of Aqaba. The Jordan Valley, which forms the northern tip of the African Great Rift Valley, runs in the west of the country from south to north and is famous for the world’s lowest elevation at 200 to 400 meters below sea level. Being warm in winter and hot in summer, the area is prosperous in irrigated agriculture. To the east are hilly plateaus of Mediterranean climate with some peaks over 1,500 m high. In the hilly plateaus in winter, sometimes there is snowfall that makes the passage of vehicles difficult. Further to the east is desert, which covers as much as 80% of the country. Its southeast part is extremely dry as the yearly rainfall can be less than 35 mm.

  • Assessment Report June 2014 Understanding Social Cohesion & Resilience in Jordanian Host Communities – April 2014
    UNDERSTANDING SOCIAL COHESION AND RESILIENCE IN JORDANIAN HOST COMMUNITIES Assessment Report June 2014 Understanding Social Cohesion & Resilience in Jordanian Host Communities – April 2014 SUMMARY The Syrian crisis, now in its fourth year, has led to the displacement of 9.3 million people. Although most are currently considered internally displaced within Syria, approximately 2.6 million refugees have crossed borders into neighbouring countries in the region. Jordan is currently hosting 588,979 refugees, of which an estimated 80% live in host communities. This large influx of Syrian refugees has led to an overstretching of the absorptive capacity of Jordanian communities and as the population grows, service delivery deteriorates and the competition for resources intensifies particularly in northern Jordan. This situation was well highlighted in the Needs Assessment Review (NAR) of the Impact of the Syrian Crisis on Jordan released in November 2013. The response by the Government of Jordan (GoJ) in coordination with the United Nations and international organisations has been to establish in Septembre 2013 the Host Community Support Platform (HCSP) for improving access to services, strengthening social cohesion and building resilience, as well as to develop a National Resilience Plan (NRP) for the period 2014 – 2016. The plan aims to coordinate the development response and is structured around the various social services and economic characteristics that are often referred to by government and aid actors as key sectors: water, employment and livelihoods, health, education, and municipal support. The analysis within this report is also disaggregated into these sectors – including as well access to shelter and affordable housing that has emerged as a key challenge on community level.

  • Gender-Based Violence Information Management System (GBVIMS) Annual Report 2015
    Gender-Based Violence Information Management System (GBVIMS) Annual Report 2015 Background This report provides information on incidents of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) reported by SGBV survivors in Jordan during 2015. The information is provided by humanitarian agencies working to prevent and to respond to SGBV through awareness-raising and other prevention activities, and through the provision of case management services, and which together constitute the GBVIMS Task Force. Members of the GBVIMS Task Force include the Institute for Family Health/Noor Hussein Foundation (IFH/NHF), International Rescue Committee (IRC), International Medical Corps (IMC), Jordan River Foundation (JRF), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). GBVIMS data is currently being gathered in Amman Governorate, Zarqa Governorate (including Azraq Camp and Emirati Jordanian Camp), Mafraq Governorate (including Za’atari Camp), Irbid Governorate (including Cyber City and King Abdullah Park), Balqa Governorate, Jerash Governorate, Ajloun governorate, and in the South of Jordan (including Aqaba, Tafilah, Karak, and Ma’an). The Task Force is responsible for gathering, maintaining and analyzing data related to SGBV, and for ensuring the security and protection of sensitive data concerning SGBV. Using an inter-agency GBVIMS electronic tool, the Task Force maintains data concerning the type of violence committed; the profile of survivors and perpetrators of SGBV; the context in which SGBV incidents were committed, and the responses and services provided to SGBV survivors.1 The consolidated data presented in this report relates exclusively to reported incidents, and cannot be considered representative of the total incidence or prevalence of SGBV in Jordan; due to the limitations inherent in the identification and reporting of SGBV information, this must be noted in any use of the data authorized by the GBVIMS Task Force.
