1. BACKGROUND TO NRC
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent, humanitarian, non-profit, non-governmental organization providing assistance, protection and durable solutions to refugees and internally displaced persons worldwide.
NRC has been operational in Jordan since November 2012 in response to the Syria crisis and resulting refugee displacement. NRC globally specializes in five core competencies and in Jordan currently focuses on:
• Provision of adequate shelter, sufficient non-food item (NFI) distribution and winterization activities and support to common camp maintenance for Syrian refugees in Zaatari and Azraq camps in coordination with Syrian Refugee Affairs Directorate (SRAD), UNHCR and other camp-based partners;
• Operation of Learning and Youth Centres providing out of school children and vulnerable youth with knowledge and skills in protective environments in Zaatari, Azraq and Emirati Jordanian Camp (EJC) in coordination with the Ministry of Education and UNICEF; and
• Creation of additional adequate and affordable housing units in northern Jordan (Irbid, Jerash and Ajloun) through an integrated urban shelter programme that supports Jordanian landlords to complete unfinished housing units for the benefit of Syrian refugees in coordination with Minister of Interior, local authorities (Governors and targeted municipalities) and Shelter Working Group.
• Provision of Information, Counseling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) services to Syrian refugees and members of the vulnerable Jordanian host community in Irbid, Jerash, Ajloun, Amman and Mafraq focusing on tenancy rights, work rights, legal and civil documentation and access to essential services.
2. BACKGROUND TO CONSULTANCY
Between July-September 2017 NRC was sub-contracted by the World Bank to help facilitate 70 In-Depth Informant Interviews and 28 Focus Group Discussions in 7 sites throughout Jordan as part of a Qualitative Survey on Syrian Refugees and Host Communities.
The aim of the survey was to understand how, “given the legal, structural and societal challenges, is the Syrian community able to manage, adapt, and/or resist their difficult circumstances? What are their survival strategies? How does the community govern itself? How do they rely on each other and build solidarity? What are the informal arrangements and networks through which communities build resilience in the face of such great odds? And, how far can such informal and innovative strategies go before facing the inevitable structural wall - legal, political, social - that limits opportunities and choices? We are specifically interested in issues of housing, income generation, migration choices, law & order, and household dynamics.”
All 28 FGDs and 70 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) were conducted by NRC staff and taped with the beneficiary’s consent. The tapes were subsequently transcribed into English. Each KII is approximately 7-10 pages long.
3. OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of this consultancy is to summarise key findings from the 70 KII transcripts to identify programme needs and issues relevant to NRC’s work with Syrian refugees and host communities.
The specific objectives of the consultancy are:
• Review the World Bank material (questionnaires, study material and templates)
• Meet with ICLA Management to discuss key issues to be extracted from the KIIs
• Review the 70 KII transcripts and summarise the key findings of relevance for the following NRC Jordan Core Competencies, Shelter; Youth, Education and ICLA as well as Protection and Advocacy. Other areas of relevance for NRC will include:

o Interaction with Jordanian authorities and host communities
o Non-NRC needs identified during the interviews, including WASH, Food Security, Livelihoods and others.
