Abstract

This new Jordan Response Plan (JRP) is a nationwide multi-sectoral document on humanitarian crisis response aiming to address the needs of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians impacted by the Syria crisis. Based on the five previous ones, it is a 3-year plan, where needs and proposed response are developed through the task forces composed of line ministries, donors' community, UN agencies, and NGOs. The overall goal of the Plan will be achieved through the following strategic objectives (i) strengthen program design and implementation to be more relevant to the needs, to reach the most vulnerable, and contribute to the enhancement of the resilience of both beneficiaries and systems; (ii) ensure meeting the protection needs of Syrian refugees and meeting the needs of vulnerable Jordanians impacted by Syria crisis; (iii) support national systems to continue providing quality services; (iv) upscale critical capacities of the central, regional and local authorities to plan, program, coordinate and implement the development response; (v) support the government budget to cope with the financial burdens resulting from Syria crisis; (vi) advance more cost effective and sustainable solutions to municipal services and infrastructure in areas critically affected by demographic stress, including solid waste management, housing, and energy sectors; and (vii) mitigate the impact resulting from the consumption and pressures on natural resources and eco system services. Due to the decrease in funding, the Government of Jordan and the International Community started considering changes for JRP 2020-2022, so that a more flexible, resilient, and responsive structure was created. The Plan comprises 7 sectors (instead of the previous 12). The sectors are (i) Public Services; (ii) Education; (iii) Health; (iv) Economic Empowerment; (v) Social Protection and Justice; (vi) Shelter; and (vii) WASH.
