Description:
January 2020 - With the Syria crisis in its ninth year, Jordan continues to host up to 1.3 million Syrian refugees in camps and host communities, of whom over 650,000 are registered. Additional populations of concern include 58,000 Iraqis, as well as a small number of unregistered refugees, including those from Yemen. Crisis-affected populations require continued assistance to address basic humanitarian and protection needs.
With GAC’s support, CARE Canada is providing basic needs and protection support to refugees and vulnerable Jordanians. The intervention aims to reach 32,300 individuals. Project activities include: (1) providing holistic and gender-focused case management to vulnerable populations in the community centres and/or through community outreach; (2) providing psychosocial support (PSS) services, peer support and one-on-one counselling to Syrian and non-Syrian refugees, and host community members, especially women and children; (3) increasing capacity of Women’s Leadership Councils through training, support, and an internship program; and (4) providing emergency cash assistance to the most vulnerable households.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased and more equitable access to protection prevention and response services for vulnerable women, girls, boys and men in refugee and host communities; (2) increased capacity of Women’s Leadership Councils to support leadership and engagement of refugee and host community women and girls; and (3) increased and more equitable capacity of vulnerable women, girls, men and boys in refugee and host communities to meet their basic needs.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
