Peace, Security, Stability and Migration - Jordan-en
Currently, Jordan is home to one of the largest per capita ratio of refugees worldwide. Nearly twelve years into the Syrian civil war, Jordan hosts approximately 760.000 UNHCR registered refugees, next to a registered Palestinian population of 2.3 million. With more than 80 percent of refugees living outside of camps and in urban areas, host communities in Jordan are diverse.
Supporting Jordan’s continued hosting of refugees, in particular as a result of the Syrian crisis, will remain the cornerstone of The Netherlands’ development cooperation program from 2023-2026. The Netherlands invests in the resilience and self-reliance of refugees and Jordanian host communities. Our focus is on enhancing social protection, education and training, as well as employment opportunities. The Netherlands also aims at fostering the role of local civil society organisations in the refugee response.
