UNICEF Annual Report 2013 - Jordan  

This document presents the 2013 UNICEF Annual Report on Youth during a period in which the situation of children in Jordan evolved dramatically with up to 2,000 Syrian child refugees crossing daily into Jordan during the first months of the year. By the end of 2013, some 311,000 children and 265,000 adults were registered as refugees in the country. The report discusses the UNICEF Jordan Country Office (JCO) response in order to effectively provide critical emergency assistance in education; health; nutrition; child protection; and water, sanitation and hygiene. While JCO increased its human and financial support to the government, it continued to strengthen its programme work; this report addresses the challenges and achievements by component results and intermediate results throughout the year.
