According to data from the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation’s website, this year's funding requirement is the "lowest" set by the government to finance the plan since its launch in 2015, reflecting a "decline" in international support for the plan’s funding.
The funding requirements for the Jordanian crisis response plans have ranged from 2.98 billion dollars in 2015 to 1.953 billion dollars last year, according to statistics from the Ministry’s website.
When comparing the funding requirements between the current year and the previous one, the funding needs for the 2025 Syrian Crisis Response Plan have decreased by 18.43% compared to last year.
Jordan has hosted approximately 1.3 million Syrians since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011, including about 600,000 Syrian refugees registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Donors and the international community have committed to funding 45.9% of Jordan's Syrian Crisis Response Plans since their inception in 2015, up until the end of 2023. The total funding for these plans has reached approximately 10.3 billion dollars out of an estimated 22.1 billion dollars, leaving an annual funding shortfall of 11.8 billion dollars.
As of July 2023, the Ministry had not provided an update on the funding for the response plan. However, the grants directed to support the plan amounted to 132.8 million dollars, representing 6.8% of the total requirements for the plan, which amounted to approximately 1.953 billion dollars. These grants were distributed as follows: 39.6 million dollars to support service projects in host communities, and 93.1 million dollars to support Syrian refugees.
