Humanitarian situation and needs :

As of July 2018, Jordan is the country hosting the third largest number of Syrian refugees with above 650,000 registered with UNHCR. InJordan, the first response to the needs of the refugees was carried out by the host communities alongside Jordan civil society and charity organizations. However, the constant influx of people put significant strains on the already weak economic situation of the Jordanian population in the areas of refuge, with around 79% of the refugees living outside of camps.

Refugees struggle to meet their basic needs, relying on dwindling savings, growing loans, humanitarian assistance and resorting to negative coping mechanisms. 2/3 of the Syrian refugees live below the poverty line, with rent being their major expenditure. Addressing fundamental needs of the most vulnerable refugees and Jordanians is a priority to be achieved through improved access to health for most vulnerable groups, psycho-social support for the most affected population, proposing alternative education for children out of school, improve living conditions for households and supporting access to legal documentation (and thus to services).

Until 2020 at least, refugees and host communities will continue to co-exist and while tensions are raising in the communities, it is paramount to empower the communities to bounce back ensuring i) social cohesion, ii) development of sustainable economic opportunities and iii) access to public services.

Our action on the field:

Since 2013, PUI has been responding to the needs of most vulnerable populations affected by the Syria crisis in host communities. Through a community-based approach, the objectives of PUI in Jordan are the following:
– Provide emergency/life-saving cash assistance to the most vulnerable population to meet their basic needs;
– Improve access to services for most vulnerable populations in host communities;
– Support initiatives at community level to ensure social cohesion and economic empowerment opportunities for most vulnerable
populations.

The three pillars of this strategy that encourages social change include a) Knowledge and awareness raising of women, girls, boys, men and community influential persons related to health, importance of education, prevention of early marriage and child labor/abuse, rights and promotion of services uptake, b) Alleviating measures such as cash transfers for an access to health, education, winterization and legal documentation) c) provision of services: Economic empowerment, Informal education, PSS, health & education sessions and counselling, case management including referral and follow-up.

The current ongoing programmes:
ECHO: Protection Monitoring Programme in consortium wth DRC, Intersos, ICMC and Mercy Corps including household level and community level protection monitoring, case management, referrals and cash approaches.
ECHO: Improve access to reproductive health for syrian refugees and most vulnerable Jordanians through awareness raising, referral, individual follow-up and cash approaches.
AFD: Community Programme in partnership with two CBOs including Health (community health facilitation), Psychosocial support, Education (remedial classes), Protection (case management) and cash approaches.
