Description

The Jordan Health Fund for Refugees (JHFR) was launched in 2018 to support the Government of Jordan (GoJ) offset the additional costs of providing health services to Syrian refugees through the public health system. It was later expanded to cover all UNHCR registered refugees. It is a collaborative financing initiative, through a Joint Financing Arrangement (JFA), supported by Canada, the USA, Denmark, Qatar, Germany, Italy, and the World Bank, raising, as of 2025, over 76 million Jordanian Dinars. The JFA, between the donors and GoJ, provides the overall framework for JHFR, with each donor concluding separate bilateral agreements. The JFA was renewed, for the second time, in 2024 and extended till December 2028. The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) manages contributions, while the MOH implements projects aligned with national priorities and refugees needs. An evaluation was needed to assess the impact of this multi-donor support ongoing since 2018 and to examine the Fund's outcomes, effectiveness, relevance, factors affecting its success, offering insights into the sustainability of its interventions. This is the first comprehensive evaluation of the Fund's performance since its inception. It aims to provide insights for future health sector programming and will benefit relevant stakeholders, such as MOH and donors, to support evidence-based decisions.
