Introduction The 2002 Jordan Population and Family Health Survey (JPFHS) in Jordan collected social, behavioral, and health data on Jordanian households and on ever-married Jordanian women aged 15-49. The household questionnaire was administered to approximately 7,800 households, and collected information on housing conditions and socio-economic status. The women’s question- naire collected information from approximately 6,000 women on their employment and educa- tional background, their spouse’s background, and data related to fertility and reproduction; pregnancy and associated care; knowledge of HIV/AIDS; and child feeding practices, health, and mortality. Anthropometry and anemia data were also collected from women and children in all households. This atlas presents maps of a selection of indicators from the 2002 JPFHS survey, including household characteristics (household water source, availability of toilet facilities; household possessions); background characteristics of women (education, employment, and media exposure); pregnancy and delivery care; and indicators of child health, including early childhood mortality and vaccination rates. Geographic Information The JPFHS sampling strategy was designed to produce reliable estimates of key indicators for three governorates – Amman, Irbid, and Zarqa – as well as three regions comprised of four governorates each. In this atlas, estimates for Amman, Irbid, and Zarqa are mapped together with estimates for the combined governorates of Balqa and Madaba in central Jordan; Mafraq, Jarash, and Ajloun in northern Jordan; and Karak, Tafiela, Ma’an, and Aqaba in southern Jordan. (See figure I-1.) Additional tabulations or figures showing indicators by region for urban and rural populations also included for selected indicators. For reference purposes, figure I-2 shows the distribution of urban population in Jordan. Amman and Zarqa are the most urbanized areas in Jordan, while the northern area (Mafraq/Jarash/Ajloun) and southern area (Karak/Tafiela/Ma’an/Aqaba) are less urban. Figures ♦ Figure I-1.

Characteristics of Households The JPFHS household questionnaire collected information on housing condition and presence of durable goods in the household. Three background indicators were mapped to illustrate regional and urban-rural differences in housing and household assets. A summary of these differences is below, followed by descriptions of the relevant figures. Water and Sanitation Most housing units have water piped into the dwelling itself, which is the safest and most convenient water system. However, this differs by region, with households in the southern region (Karak/Tafiela/Ma’an/Aqaba) more likely to have indoor piped water systems than households in the central or northern areas. (See figure II-1.) Urban-rural differences in water source are pronounced in northern and central Jordan, especially in the governorate of Irbid (77.97 percent of urban households with piped water v. 61.23 percent of rural households). (See table II-1.) Most housing units also have flush toilets located in dwelling. Urban-rural differences are apparent, however, with in-dwelling traditional toilets more common in the southern region than in northern and central Jordan, and more common in rural than in urban areas. Very few households (less than 2 percent in all regions) share facilities with other households or lack access to a toilet facility. (See figure II-2 and table II-2.) Household Assets Nearly all households surveyed in all areas have electrical service and a television set, with little regional or urban-rural difference. Most households also have a refrigerator, though this differs somewhat by region: households in the southern region and in the northern governorates of Mafraq, Jarash, and Ajloun are somewhat less likely to have refrigerators than households in other areas of the country. (See figure II-3.) Radios and telephones are somewhat less common in households, particularly in southern Jordan and the northern governorates of Mafraq, Jarash, and Ajloun. Private automobiles are relatively uncommon, with only about 2 in 5 households owning a private vehicle in the country as a whole. Households in Amman are most likely to have an automobile, while households in Mafraq, Jarash, and Ajloun are least likely. (See figure II-3) Figures and Tables ♦ Figure II-1.

  • Jordan – Palestinians – West Bank – Passports – Citizenship – Fatah
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: JOR35401 Country: Jordan Date: 27 October 2009 Keywords: Jordan – Palestinians – West Bank – Passports – Citizenship – Fatah This response was prepared by the Research & Information Services Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. This research response may not, under any circumstance, be cited in a decision or any other document. Anyone wishing to use this information may only cite the primary source material contained herein. Questions 1. Please provide background on the issue of Jordanian citizenship for persons of West Bank Palestinian descent. 2. What is the overall situation for Palestinian citizens of Jordan? 3. Have there been any crackdowns upon Fatah members over the last 15 years? 4. What kind of relationship exists between Fatah and the Jordanian authorities? RESPONSE 1. Please provide background on the issue of Jordanian citizenship for persons of West Bank Palestinian descent. Most Palestinians in Jordan hold a Jordanian passport of some type but the status accorded different categories of Palestinians in Jordan varies, as does the manner and terminology through which different sources classify and discuss Palestinians in Jordan. The webpage of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) states that: “All Palestine refugees in Jordan have full Jordanian citizenship with the exception of about 120,000 refugees originally from the Gaza Strip, which up to 1967 was administered by Egypt”; the latter being “eligible for temporary Jordanian passports, which do not entitle them to full citizenship rights such as the right to vote and employment with the government”.

  • ACOR Newsletter Vol. 12.2
    ACOR Newsletter ^i ^ Vol. 12.2—Winter 2000 Qastal, 1998-2001 On a cold afternoon in early February 2000, Ra'ed Abu Ghazi, a management trainee for the Qastal Erin Addison Conservation and Development Project (QCDP), was walking home from the Umayyad qasr and mosque complex at Qastal (map, p. 9). In the lot between the ancient reservoir and his home, he stopped to speak to some neighbor children playing a game. Then a teapot overturned and the late afternoon sun re- flected off a blue-green, glassy surface. Ra'ed knelt to get a closer look and brushed gently at the loose earth. The area had recently been bulldozed, so the dirt was loose and only about five centimeters deep. As he washed the surface with tea water, a pattern of bril- liant glass tesserae was revealed. Ra'ed had made an exciting discovery at Qastal: a large structure from the late Umayyad period (A.D. 661-750), floored with what experts have called some of the most exquisite mosaics in Jordan (Figs. 1-3). The new structure is only the most recent development in two-and-a-half fascinating years at Qastal. Qastal al-Balqa' is men- tioned in the Diwan of Kuthayyir 'Azza (d. A.H. 105=A.o. 723): "God bless the houses of those living between Muwaqqar and Qastal al-Balqa', where the mihrabs are." Al- though there remain com- plex questions about this reference to "mihrabs" (maharib—apparently plural), the quote at least tells us that Qastal was well enough known to have served as a geo- graphical reference point before A.D.

  • 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).

General Information: 75,000 Visitors Attend Jordan Food Exhibition 2016 Jordan Food Exhibition 2016, which concluded on Sunday June, 5, received over 75,000 visitors. The five-day exhibition, which featured products by 150 factories, wholesalers and retailers, received positive feedback from visitors due to its organization and the caliber of the participating companies. The exhibition was held in Amman at Hussein Youth City, with over 4,000 square meters showcasing what the local food market has to offer. American products dominated many of the exhibits, showcasing a range of products that included rice, poultry cuts, nuts, cheese, and snacks. It was noticeable the strong presence of leading U.S. brands vying for market share in Jordan’s highly competitive environment, especially those of processed foods, cheese, and rice. Fruit and Vegetable Farmers’ Plight Continues Despite a pick-up in demand of fruit and vegetables (F&V) due to high demand during the holy month of Ramadan, prices continue to remain low as farmers are unable to shrug off excess supply due to the border closings in the neighboring countries, as war continues to wreak havoc. The Chairman of Jordan Valley Farmers Association has called for farmers to abstain producing F&V after an annus horribilis that left them with nothing but debts, and minimal government support.

  • Thematic Assessment Report Livelihoods,Employment
    LIVELIHOODS, EMPLOYMENT AND TENSIONS IN JORDANIAN COMMUNITIES HOSTING SYRIAN REFUGEES THEMATIC ASSESSMENT REPORT JUNE 2014 Livelihoods, Employment and Tensions in Jordanian Communities Hosting Syrian Refugees - June 2014 SUMMARY With the protracted Syrian crisis extending into its fourth year, the conflict continues to force millions of Syrians to seek refuge in the neighbouring countries of Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Turkey. These host countries are bearing the brunt of the crisis, which represents the largest refugee exodus in recent history with a total of 2,863,595 registered refugees now living outside of Syria.1 Since 2011, approximately 600,000 Syrians have crossed the border into Jordan, putting immense strain on already scarce resources, and intensifying competition for basic services. The vast majority of these refugees do not reside in camps, but are hosted by Jordanian communities,2 where limited opportunities, a lack of resources and inadequate living space present a challenge to social cohesion and community resilience. In Jordan, few comprehensive studies have been conducted to provide an in-depth understanding of the key drivers of host community tensions. To address this information gap, this multi-sectoral REACH assessment aimed at identifying where tensions have emerged across northern Jordan as a result of the Syrian refugee crisis, and how they could be mitigated through social cohesion and resilience programming. In the shift from humanitarian relief to long-term development, the assessment aims to promote and inform the mainstreaming of a ‘Do No Harm’ approach in the response provided to conflict-affected populations residing in Jordanian host communities. Sectors assessed included: education, external support, healthcare, livelihoods, municipal services, shelter and water.
