Since the beginning of the Syria crisis, the number of refugees entering Jordan across the Country’s northern border totals to the substantial number of over 1,2 million people. As of early 2021, Jordan is host to approximately 663,500 Syrian refugees registered with UNHCR, with the majority of them settled in urban settings, and sharing resources with the Jordanian host communities: the effects of this massive presence significantly contributed to strain labour markets, affect the delivery of basic services, increase the cost of living, and consequently posed challenges to the economic stability and security of a Country already economically and financially vulnerable. The COVID-19 pandemic has further impacted Jordan’s coping capacity and affected its economic stability, with a resulting increase in the pressure on the national resources and infrastructures, as well as in the number of people living below the poverty line. Through international cooperation initiatives and a participatory, consultative approach, medium and long-term support initiatives are being unfolded in the Country to help mitigate this destabilizing effect of the successive crises and regional disruptions. Italy’s fruitful partnership with Jordan has long included emergency and development interventions promoted by the Italian Government. Mutual commitments and deep ties exist between our Countries. Over the last years, Italy has funded diverse programmes in support of the Jordanian Government, implemented by Civil Society Organizations and aimed to ensure adequate refugee response and capacity development, as well as to enhance access to sustainable livelihoods and basic assistance, and ultimately secure decent living standards to all the population residing in Jordan. Our Country is also providing equipment supply and technical assistance, in addition to education and employment opportunities, actively engaging with local communities to address local needs and boost social cohesion. Italy strongly believes in the engagement of the Civil Society Organizations to provide assistance to the most vulnerable communities, and is committed to continuing this fruitful partnership, and sustaining Jordan in transforming challenges into opportunities for all.

    Evaluation of Media Cooperation under the Danish Arab Partnership Programme (2005-12) Annex G: Country profiles May 2013 Annex G Country profiles Country profile – Egypt1 Freedom of expression and access to media The authoritarian regimes in the MENA region In brief - Egypt have implemented “multiple layers”2 of media legislation, controlling the establishment, the Inhabitants 82.5 million access and the distribution of media. Penalty Literacy rate 66% laws were used to criminalise critical journalism, Press outlets 566 invalidating the right of free expression as % of households with access to TV 96.5 stated in their constitutions. Radio (n.a. radio sets) 20.5 million Internet 36% The legal framework governing the media in Mobile phone subscriptions 82 million Egypt "is very complex, with overlapping rules set out in different pieces of legislation" which "formally establish a strict regime of control over the media, which is very much under government control."3 The IMS-coordinated National Coalition for Media Reform (NCMR) has drafted concrete suggestions for a new set of media legislation comprising a press law, a public service media and a private broadcasting law, which were outlined to Parliamentarians and two Ministers of the current Government. But the first round of drafting was lost with the approval of the new constitution in the referendum in December 2012 whose vague language, critics say, poses new problems to the media.4 Other primary aims are still pending, like the establishment of an independent media supervisory body in Egypt, the seven media-related laws restricting freedom of expression and access to the media in Egypt, and transparency in the licensing process.
