OVERALL PROGRESS
Context
During the first half of 2023, Jordan has been steadily overcoming the challenges posed by successive lockdowns implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The country is experiencing a revival in its usual activities, with notable improvements on both social and economic fronts. However, the economic impact of global events, including the conflict in Ukraine and the shift in humanitarian funding due to emergencies and crises in neighbouring countries and other world regions, is noticeable across all sectors of humanitarian support in Jordan.
The country remains stable, with no significant emergency incidences during this period. Nevertheless, the ongoing pressure on public services, resulting from hosting a large number of refugees, continues to challenge the socio-economic fabric of the country. This pressure affects the availability and quality of essential services, constituting a silently progressing emergency.
