Titre : JOR Medair : Social protection program towards improving resilience of refugees and vulnerable Jordanians

Pays/Région : Jordanie

Durée : 01.01.2023 - 31.12.2025

Résumé
The project initiates a third phase during which Medair Jordan will continue to reach new households in Amman, Irbid and Mafraq with case management and cash for protection, including emergency cash assistance, while focusing on livelihoods solutions to improve the resilience of refugees and vulnerable Jordanians. The project will also build and strengthen the institutional capacities of local actors to provide social protection services through coordination and experience and knowledge exchange.

Projet en bref
* Contexte : As the Syrian conflict enters its 12th year, socioeconomic living conditions continue to deteriorate while vulnerabilities to increase, with no clear perspective for the future for both refugees and host communities. Moreover, existing service providers (international and local organizations.) struggle to meet the level of demand of those in need and many do not have sufficient resources. Additionally, unemployment, living expenditures and limited access to support services result in increasing needs as well as normalized negative coping mechanisms (loans and debts, child labour, early marriage, violence, etc.). Therefore, innovative and sustainable solutions are necessary to address the needs for increased access to existing resources across all sectors and for improved economic opportunities for both refugees and host communities in the midst of a protracted crisis.
* Objectifs  : Increased households’ resilience by assisting them to become self-sufficient, whilst preparing institutional capacity of Local Non-Governmental Organizations and Community Based Organizations for provision of social protection activities to be potential future partners for SDC by the end of the intervention.
* Groupes cibles  : Direct beneficiaries are 3980 individuals and 21 Local Non-Governmental Organizations and Community Based Organizations. Among them : - 3’400 individuals through case management and Cash ; - 490 individuals through Emergency Cash Assistance ; - 18 CBOs and 3 LNGO’s with a total of 90 staff taking part to the capacity building.
