Background
NRC currently has over 3,000 staff across the Middle East dedicated to assisting people affected by displacement in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine. NRC’s interventions are based upon its programming expertise in six Core Competencies (CC): Shelter & Settlements, Education, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH), Livelihoods and Food Security (LFS), Information Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), and Protection of vulnerable civilians affected by displacement against violence. To support its work in these Core Competencies, NRC has also elected globally to focus on a few cross-cutting thematic areas, including Cash & Markets, Climate Change and Environment, Durable Solutions and Self-Reliance, Integrated Programming, as well as Safe and Inclusive Programming.
Jordan currently hosts nearly 670,000 registered Syrian refugees. On average, they have lived in in Jordan for over seven years. In addition, there are nearly 90,000 refugees of other nationalities residing in Jordan and registered with UNHCR, who have quite a different set of needs and constraints than Syrian refugees. For the time being, the focus is on increasing the self-reliance of these populations as a pathway towards more durable solutions in the future: since the border with Syria re-opened in October 2018, only 7% of Syrian refugees have returned and no more than 1% resettle annually. Often cited as amongst the most welcoming environment for refugees in the region, Jordan has put in place over the years a myriad of progressive policies in support of refugee presence in the country. Yet, despite tremendous efforts and goodwill from the Jordanian population, its government and the international community over the past decade, effective progress in terms of access of these refugees to decent and sustainable work opportunities has been limited. This is in part related to existing restrictive regulations for refugees in terms of access to various sectors of labour markets.
