Jordan’s Syrian Refugee Response and Discriminatory Development Aid
[]
Current Analysis Archives - MERIP
While the conditions are equally unsafe for all precarious workers regardless of their national origin, programs like the agricultural work site are part of a refugee response that has increasingly focused on national origin and access to labor, pitting Syrian refugees against other refugee and migrant worker populations. Yet non-Syrian refugees are excluded from these programs in practice because grants awarded to NGOs organizing cash-for-work are issued under the structure of the Jordan Response Plan’s livelihoods funding, which applies only to Syrian refugees and Jordanian host communities.
