With the Syria crisis entering its fourth year, the
resources of many longer term Syrian refugees in Jordan are being depleted,
while other Syrians are just arriving—often with few resources. With increasing
needs, the capacities of Jordanian service providers, community-based
organizations, and humanitarian actors are stretched. Setting the right
programme priorities and identifying the most vulnerable households thus is now
more important than ever to ensure different groups—particularly the most
vulnerable Syrian men, women, girls, and boys—receive the assistance they need
while awaiting return.
The present study aims to enhance all stakeholders’
understanding of the needs, vulnerabilities, and capacities of Syrian refugees
and vulnerable host community members across the four urban areas in Jordan that
host the largest number of refugees—Amman, Irbid, Mufraq, and Zarqa. The goal
is to contribute to the growing data available by providing community views on
needs, vulnerabilities, and capacities, as well as by identifying trends by
comparing data with results from the two baseline studies that CARE conducted
on the situation of urban refugees in Amman (2012) and in Irbid, Madaba,
Mufraq, and Zarqa (2013).
