2 Page 2 Coordination and partnerships The IFRC and Jordanian Red Crescent response to the Syrian Crisis in Jordan is based on coordination at different levels; within the RCRC Movement and with other humanitarian actors in the country. This aims for a more coordinated operation and technical support, with country based identification of emergency needs and objectives and in order to target most vulnerable people and to avoid duplication and gaps. Coordination takes place through leading or attending coordination meetings such as: RCRC Movement meetings take places every 15 days, to ensure general agreement on plans for the current response, implementation, information sharing, as well as contingency planning in case of an increased influx of Syrians into the country. Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) meetings led by OCHA with the presence of UN Agencies, international NGOs (Representatives of the Syrian INGO Regional forum, SIRF), donors and other stakeholders. Interagency task force (IATF) meetings chaired by UNHCR with the presence of UN Agencies, INGO (SIRF) donors and other stakeholders. Interagency Health Community task force, are led by IFRC/JRC with the presence of United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), Médécins Sans Frontières (MSF), International Medical Corps (IMC), Médécins du Monde (MDM) and other local and international NGOs that work in the community health sector. Working groups based on different sectors such as Cash Working Group, Host Community Support Platform, Health Working Group etc. The RCRC Hospital Consortium Steering Committee (CSC) created a Communications Working Group (CWG) which meets and assists the RCRC Hospital CSC in ensuring multilateral support for the operation. JRC and the IFRC would like to thank all partners (bilateral or multilateral) who contributed to the emergency response in Jordan including American, Australian, British, Austrian, Canadian, Swedish, Swiss, Danish, German, Icelandic, Spanish, Italian, Netherlands, and Norwegian Red Cross, the Kuwaiti, Qatari, Iraqi, Saudi Arabian, United Arab Emirates Red Crescent, respective partner National Society Government s, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the EU (ECHO), the Japanese Government, United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) the World Food Programme (WFP) and private donors. The operational strategy Based on several joint assessments carried out, the operation in Jordan will continue to focus on three key groups: Support to Syrian refugees living in host communities and Azraq camp. Support to Jordanian host families/communities. Capacity Building of the Host National Society for enhancing and sustaining capacities related to the response operation. The priority strategies to meet the needs of the groups identified above include the use of cash as the primary method to deliver relief/winterization support at a cost of CHF 8.50 million, followed by health interventions via CBHFA and PSP to a cost of CHF 943,606, Food Security and Livelihood (CHF 0.4 million) and Disaster preparedness and Risk Beneficiary of the cash transfer programme in South Amman, being registered through Iris registration with the support of IFRC Staff Reduction (CHF 80,000). To ensure the scaling up of these activities, capacity building (CHF 0.55 million) is an essential element in this holistic plan to ensure operational goals are attained in an effective and timely manner. Finally, additional support for the RCRC Hospital in Azraq might be sought through a revised Appeal in This will be after a decision is reached on the funding mechanism for the Hospital. The hospital will ensure 60,000 Syrian refugees in Azraq camp have access to secondary health care and services.

One of the recommendations was that there needs to be a better coordinated approach from humanitarian actors in order to address their needs in a satisfactory way. As a pilot programme, the integrated approach will be implemented in South Amman. This strategy of having a multi-sectoral approach in a given geographical area will maximize the effectiveness of operational implementation, minimize issues of engagement with communities or expectations of volunteers, and provide cost savings, as well as lead to more sustainable outcomes for communities. To implement this integrated approach at neighbourhood level, there are specific dedicated additional resources required for it. This approach also requires specific coordination with Movement partners but also externally, advocacy, information management, public awareness, beneficiary communication, among others, it is very important to start with a pilot phase in one of the neighbourhood in the South of Amman. With the possibility to expand and learn from this first pilot (once it s adopted).
