Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation Jordan Response Plan 2015 Ms. Feda Gharaibeh, Director Humanitarian Relief Coordination Unit 1 September 2014

Jordan Response Plan 2015 What is it? A single comprehensive national document providing a one response document to the Syrian crisis in Jordan. Nationally-led and owned process in partnership with the United Nations and the international community. Builds on pre-existing planning exercises, particularly the NRP and RRP. 2 main components: –Joint Needs Assessment Review Report – mid-Oct –One Response Plan (JRP) – Dec. 2014

Jordan Response Plan 2015 Why? The nature of the crisis in Jordan is challenging standard aid responses and coordination mechanisms Existing architecture for aid delivery is fragmented Ongoing responses face the risk of not being sustainable in the context of a protracted crisis

Jordan Response Plan 2015 Advantages of having one Plan: Bring together humanitarian and resilience programming as mutually reinforcing aspects of a one response More effective aid: o Enable a comprehensive overview of assistance delivery – more effectively address gaps o Facilitate harmonization o Increase national ownership of the response o Enhance alignment with national priorities Serve as the only national chapter of any regional plan related to the Syrian crisis.
