Syrian Refugees in Host Communities: District Profiles

During September and October 2013, REACH carried out a key informant assessment in the five governorates of northern Jordan. This assessment is related to refugees from Syria in Jordanian host communities and is part of a wider, ongoing project to improve understanding of community vulnerabilities, resilience and coping mechanisms. An integral part of this project is the key informant assessment that focuses on two key elements: access to services by Syrian refugees relating to thematic sectors, and their prioritised needs by sector. The following phases of this project will identify and prioritise ‘hotspots’ for support to hosting communities, including a better understanding of capacities and stress-points of basic services for Jordanian and Syrian refugees.
