The upcoming Brussels conference for supporting Syria and the region marks the eighth year of the war in Syria, a conflict that has left 11.7 million people inside Syria in need of humanitarian assistance, 6.2 million internally displaced, and 5.6 million forced to flee to neighbouring countries. Three years after the groundbreaking signing of the Jordan compact, the partnership between the Government of Jordan(GoJ) and the international community is as important today as it was back in 2016. Both the government and international donors have delivered on many fronts, including on the accountability one as they committed and launched the first ever independent monitoring mechanism of the Jordan Compact. As the gains remain fragile, it is of the utmost importance that the spirit of partnership, shared responsibility and international solidarity persists.
The following briefing paper seeks to review the progress made against commitments and propose recommendations to all participants of the Brussels conference, including the government of Jordan, the donor community and the overall aid sector. It is divided into 5 sections: Protection, Education, Livelihood, Health, and Durable Solutions and was drafted based on extensive consultations of InternationalNGOs and National NGOs in Amman, Zarqa, Mafraq and Irbid governorates in Jordan.
