Cash transfers for refugees: the economic and social effects of a programme in Jordan
In this report, we consider one specific case study – the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) cash transfer in Jordan. To date, there are around 660,000 Syrians registered as refugees in Jordan, from a total of 1.4 million. Drawing on qualitative research conducted in four sites in September 2016, we assess the immediate effects of transfers on reducing barriers to accessing basic services and employment, as well as considering the long-term implications of improvements in economic and social outcomes.
