About RI: Relief International (RI) specializes in relief and development programs that benefit people in acute distress. A registered non-profit in the US, UK, France and Belgium, our work targets those fragile countries or communities that suffer from man-made or natural crises that impede human development. The people that we serve live in 16 countries across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia where the debilitating effects of political instability, forced displacement, and natural disasters are pervasive.
Purpose/Objective:
In March 2022, RI Jordan finalized its strategic plan for 2022-2025. The goal for the coming three years is: “RI Jordan building the resilience of youth and empowering their communities to recover from the protracted vulnerabilities, improving their long-term well-being and livelihood.” RI will work toward this goal through three strategic objectives:
These objectives require RI to increase its knowledge and understanding of the current context in regards to the developments of the context, deep understanding of the Gender roles, feasibility of Livelihood opportunities and Durable solutions. This will require research and assessment that will enable RI to expand beyond program-generated learning and pre-conceived ideas of youth needs and aspirations.
RI is planning to complete an assessment on Livelihoods and Durable solutions for Youth and their families as a continuation of its Education Programming. The study will inform the design of future programs and provide the evidence and knowledge to develop quality proposals targeting youth development.
Therefore, RI is planning to conduct an assessment seeking to improve understanding of challenges, opportunities and long-term potential of Durable solutions and Livelihood opportunities for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians. It aims to identify enabling factors for individuals to successfully start and operate a Home-Based Business HBB and other employment and livelihood opportunities. It also looks at the general context, the gender dynamics, the gaps in the current response and the overall financial situation, empowerment, family dynamics and community engagement. In addition, the assessment seeks to identify needs (such as skills trainings, information, funding and support) to start and operate HBB, as well as intentions and perspectives of Syrian refugees related to continuing their business if/when they return to Syria. The aim of the overall assessment is to inform understanding, response and programming related to HBB for implementing partners within the Livelihoods in Jordan.
The assessment should rely on using a mixed-methods approach with both qualitative and quantitative components, involving structured individual interviews (IIs), as well as semi-structured key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs). While the population of interest broadly speaking including RI beneficiaries in Jordan – including both Jordanians and Syrian refugees – information for this assessment will be collected primarily from agreed desk review resources and primary data.
The scope of the assessment will include:
