Government of Jordan

Purpose

The Jordan Health Fund for Refugees supports Jordan’s Ministry of Health in ensuring better health outcomes for hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees, particularly women and girls. Along with other donors, Canada's contribution offsets the additional costs of providing health services to Syrians through Jordan’s public health system. Project activities include: (1) provision of primary and secondary health care services in Ministry of Health facilities and; (2) procurement of medicines, medical solutions, consumables and supplies. This multi-donor initiative is expected to benefit more than 670,000 registered Syrian refugees in Jordan. As with all pooled fund projects, Canada is working in close cooperation with other donors and the Government of Jordan to promote effective, transparent, and accountable country systems; increase donor coordination and harmonization; and strengthen mutual accountability. This kind of assistance also fosters greater policy dialogue among donors, government, and partners, which helps to strengthen efforts for effective, focussed aid, and long-term development results. This project is continuously monitored and evaluated in coordination with other donors.
