Syrian Refugees Living in the Community in Jordan

This report details an assessment carried out during September 2012 into the situation facing Syrian refugees living in the community in Jordan. It follows on from the launching of a preliminary emergency appeal by IFRC and JRC in August 2012, which focuses on supporting JRC to scale up its assistance to Syrian refugees in the community.

The assessment included six days of primary data collection in six locations in Jordan, as well as a detailed review of secondary data and extensive coordination meetings with other agencies and stakeholders. Current responses of JRC and UNHCR were also examined in detail.

The assessment showed that many refugees living throughout Jordan, not just in the northern areas, face similar difficulties in providing for their basic needs. General findings were in line with secondary assessment data.
