The deterioration of the security and humanitarian situation in Syria has forced thousands of Syrians to flee and seek refuge in neighboring countries, including Jordan. The large influx of refugees has placed a considerable burden on local Jordanian host communities, that are already poor, and their access to basic social and economic services. It is widely reported in the Northern governorates that crowding effects the local market, in particular with regards to housing and labour. The present crisis comes at difficult time for Jordan. Despite many efforts to engage in economic stabilization and liberalization, the country faces real economic and social challenges. Thus, it is important that direct support be provided to vulnerable Jordanians in host communities of the Northern governorates of Irbid and Mafraq to mitigate the impact of the Syrian crisis. In addition, it is essential that the assistance provided in the current context complements governmental development efforts, as highlighted in the Jordan Vision 2015 – 2025, the Jordan Response Plan and related policies and strategies. UNDP has a programme to support social stability in Jordan and mitigate the impact of the Syrian refugees, focusing on several pillars, including local governance strengthening social cohesion and community security.

 Under the overall supervision of the Socio-Economic Portfolio Manager, and the direct monitoring of the Programme Specialist, the incumbent will provide oversight, quality assurance, and technical support to the implementation of the legal aid and community security project
