-Gauge on patients’ general medical habits in terms of preferred touch points, hospitalization, medication and health facility selection criteria among others. -Identify chronic disease prevalence among Syrian and Iraqi households as well as identify the most prevalent diseases among each segment. -Understand patients’ behaviors with regards to their chronic illnesses -Assess the medical aid received by refugees in terms of coverage (medicine, doctors, facilities etc.…) -Identify the organizations on which refugees are reliant on when it comes to financial medical help -Assess patients’ satisfaction with regards to the medical assistance received. -Assess the impact of medical expenses on the lives of refugees especially with regards to necessities -Gauge on awareness of organizations that offer medical assistance to non-Jordanians

To identify trends in vulnerability and food security levels amongst registered Syrian refugee women, girls, boys and men in Jordan and contribute to the advancement of the Vulnerability Assessment Framework.

The assessment aims to: identify the specific vulnerabilities of Jordanian and Syrian refugee communities in Amman and Zarqa, highlighting how gender defines the needs, challenges, and priorities of communities differently; determine the most significant gaps in service provision related to health, protection, and economic well-being in vulnerable communities in the two governorates, as well as opportunities for coordination, collaboration, and capacity strengthening with local organizations; and guarantee evidence-based program design through the collection of quantitative and qualitative data.

The primary purpose of this assessment is to better understand the current needs and capacities of Urban Syrian Refugees and Jordanian Host Communities, and the trends and changes over time “by comparison with data from previous CARE Urban assessments”; in order to identify gaps, and provide recommendations for future programming and informing advocacy efforts.

The surveys that have been conducted among refugee population have largely focused on specific issues regarding humanitarian aid, but oftentimes only cover part of the refugee population and omit the host communities. This multi-country survey work proposes to fill these gaps by undertaking a specialized survey that is representative of both the Syrian refugee and native populations in three of the four most important host communities. The information that is collected will provide a snapshot of the major issues and challenges facing the refugees and local communities. The objectives of the survey are: 1. To assess the socio-economic and living conditions of a representative sample of the Syrian refugee and host community population in Lebanon, the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and high prevalence areas in Jordan. 2. To understand the implications in terms of social and economic conditions on the host communities. 3. To identify strategies to support Syrian refugees and host communities in the immediate and longer term.

Save the Children and Pearson have teamed up to provide innovative approaches to education for children in conflict-affected settings. The mission of the project is to complement Pearson’s donation to Save the Children, by developing and implementing new, scalable education solutions for conflict-affected settings. The first outcome of this phase of the partnership is a pilot in Jordan. Lessons learned from the pilot will be applied to adapting and scaling the solution/s in other similar contexts as agreed by the two organizations. As noted above, the research task is part of a larger project to eventually develop innovative and scalable education solutions for children in conflict-affected settings around the world. There is already extensive literature on education solutions as well as existing needs assessments and interviews with relevant subject and area experts, therefore the proposed research builds on this to add the additional depth necessary to developing a new solution. The research to be carried out will, therefore, shed light on the feasibility and usability of scalable education solutions for vulnerable children and their host communities, and the eventual piloting of such a solution in Jordan.

The current study examines the extent of conflict-related GBV with a special emphasis on sexual GBV among women displaced by the Syrian conflict living in South Lebanon and Northern Jordan and the scope, quality, and effectiveness of the response to GBV among key stakeholders and female survivors of GBV. Recommendations to improve the response to conflict-related gender based violence will be included in the analysis.

to identify and prepare a response that meets the needs of refugees and host communities and strengthens the response from the Jordanian government and international organizations and the coordination between the different actors.

AIMS • Evaluate access to and utilisation of key health services by registered non-camp Syrian refugees in Jordan • Evaluate challenges faced by non-camp refugees in accessing health care services in Jordan OBJECTIVES • Evaluate knowledge regarding the availability of health care services for non-camp refugees • Estimate the proportion of registered non-camp refugees seeking care in preceding 4 weeks, types of care sought, whether or not care sought was received and in which type of facilities, difficulties faced in seeking care • Assess access to care and barriers experienced by refugees who regularly seek health care.

As a practical part of an internal training for NRC staff, NRC is planning an adapted Emergency Market Mapping and Analysis (EMMA) assessment in the Northern Jordan from 22nd – 27th April. The training will map some of the resources required for small-scale non-commercial home-based food production in Irbid, with a view to understanding the critical links within the market system. The training will be jointly facilitated by NRC head office staff and an external consultant, and is primarily meant to provide capacity building to NRC staff while enhancing the information available to the humanitarian community. NRC hopes that the analysis of segments of non-commercial home-based small-scale food production in Irbid from the perspective of supply, demand and systemic bottleneckswill provide useful insight for possible future programmatic interventions.

The purpose of the household survey is to determine people’s knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding water, sanitation and hygiene in Za’atari camp. The information will be used to help UN agencies and NGOs to better plan their WASH services and programmes within the Zaatari camp. Approximately 376 household will be interviewed an average of 31 household from each district. The survey will take around 2 weeks. There will be around 8 enumerators for each district which will be trained for subject mentioned survey. The survey will be conducted by Oxfam, JEN and ACTED and all the enumerators will be from these organizations. In addition to KAP survey, there will be 3 Focus Group Discussion (FGD) meetings in each district. One with men, one with women and one with children. The expected number of refugee participants are 10-12 for each FDG. The survey will be started as soon as we receive approval form SRAD.

To determine the source of information and service seeking behaviors regarding GBV and RH issues.

In Jordan, few comprehensive studies have been conducted to provide an in-depth understanding of the key drivers of host community tensions. To address this information gap, this multi-sectoral REACH assessment aimed at identifying where tensions have emerged across northern Jordan as a result of the Syrian refugee crisis, and how they could be mitigated through social cohesion and resilience programming. In the shift from humanitarian relief to long-term development, the assessment aims to promote and inform the mainstreaming of a ‗Do No Harm‘ approach in the response provided to conflict-affected populations residing in Jordanian host communities. Sectors assessed included: education, external support, healthcare, livelihoods, municipal services, shelter and water.
