Introduction to ACTED:
Headquartered in Paris and with 3,300 staff worldwide, ACTED is operating in 34 countries under a global mandate to link relief assistance to rehabilitation and development.
In Jordan, ACTED has been responding to the Syrian Refugee crisis since April 2012, providing humanitarian assistance in Jordanian host communities with support of the European Commission and the United Nations Agency for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). ACTED has been assisting vulnerable Syrians and Jordanians with water, sanitation and hygiene assistance; distribution of non food items, shelter and cash support in the governorates of Irbid, Mafraq, Jerash, and Ajloun. This assessment was designed to assist in effectively targeting future WASH and Shelter assistance in advance of the upcoming winter.
