This report was released one year after the creation of the Jordan Compact which aimed to bring more resources and assistance to meet the immediate and longer-term needs of those affected by the Syrian crisis. This report is meant to reflect on progress against these compact agreements,and determine how to ensure better outcomes for refugees and host communities in the immediate and longer-term. This report evaluates progress against the Jordan Compact to date and outlines the lessons the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has learned through its work on refugee livelihoods,including its Million Jobs Challenge initiative. Based on these findings,the report aims to inform governments,humanitarian and development stakeholders on the challenges still facing Syrian refugees in Jordan who are trying to find work. This report concludes with recommendations including an annual review and subsequent adjustments to the Jordan Compact to ensure that more sustainable job opportunities are generated and the needs of Syrian refugees and Jordanians are met. It calls on the Government of Jordan to reform its work permit and business formalization processes; on donors and the Government of Jordan to modify their investment strategy,accounting for the specific needs of refugees; and on all Compact partners to establish a better accountability mechanism.
