Mitigating the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on Jordanian vulnerable host communities
Tensions are increasing between the Jordanian host population and Syrian refugees. This project will put local organisations and municipalities in a better position to address these rising tensions. Thanks to this project, a funding mechanism will be set up to support projects which will increase social cohesion and acceptance between host and refugee populations.

| Contesto |
The protracted nature of the Syria crisis is leading to a progressive increase of tensions between the Jordanian host population and Syrian refugees. Among the major sources of tension are the widely-shared perceptions that the influx of refugees has contributed to higher unemployment rates, increased costs of living, poorer quality of service delivery and to growing security concerns. Tensions are palpable in the Northern Governorates of Jordan, where socio-economic challenges created by the Syrian refugee influx have exacerbated already existing feelings of marginalization and vulnerabilities among Jordanians. However there is growing concern that social tensions are also increasing in Central and Southern Governorates of Jordan. In these circumstances, host communities are increasingly demanding a more prominent response from state institutions and local authorities (municipalities). |
| Obiettivi |
To apply and demonstrate an approach to prevent conflict that is community driven and integrated into development activity supported by local community. |
| Gruppi target |
Direct beneficiaries: Jordanian civil society organisations (CSOs) and municipalities which will be brought together to identify and address potential sources of tension. Indirect beneficiaries: Jordanian and Syrian communities residing in the six following targeted governorates: Irbid, Mafraq, Zarqaa, Maan, Madaba and Tafeeleh. |
| Effetti a medio termine |
Jordan has institutionalized improved social protection and poverty alleviation mechanisms for vulnerable people at national and sub-national levels. |
| Risultati |
Risultati principali attesi: Interaction and trust-ship between government institutions, civil society, community and religious leaders are strengthened. The conflict transformation approaches of these actors are improved. Risultati fasi precedenti: UNDP has identified the main sources of tension in three Northern Governorates in Jordan through prior assessments (Mafraq, Zarqa and Irbid). This initial research was conducted and funded by UNDP. In order to have a holistic overview of the conflict dynamics in Jordan, it has been decided to extend this analysis to Central and Southern Governorates. |

The project is one among six components of the comprehensive UNDP host communities programme in Jordan. The envisaged intervention will thus be accompanied by employment opportunities, local economic development, or support to municipal service delivery provided by the UNDP overall programme. The intervention is also coherent with the project “Emergency Services and Social Resilience Project” (World Bank) as it also requires empowered and more transparent municipalities to increase their service delivery capacity. |
