The ministry said on Wednesday that the response plan has been extended to continue based on the annual requirements agreed upon within the 2020–2022 response plan, Addustour daily reported.

Work is currently underway to agree on a new methodology to prepare a new 2024–2026 response plan, in partnership with ministries, government institutions, donors, and international organizations.

The total funding received for the response plan last year amounted to $760.3 million out of a required $2.28 billion, at a financing rate of 33.4 percent and with a deficit of $1.51 billion.

In previous statements, the ministry said that the government is continually working to shed light on the Syrian crisis and its repercussions on the Jordanian economy, as well as the quality of services provided to Jordanians and Syrians. In this way, it encourages donor countries to support Syrian refugees and host communities, and urges the international community to commit to its humanitarian duties and financial pledges.
