What works? What can improve? What can we learn together?
During last week's #PROSPECTS Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning sessions, 🇳🇱 representatives and partner agencies visited Amman, Mafraq and Zaatari Camp to exchange lessons and strengthen joint support for @Refugees.

During his visit to Zaatari camp today, @paolozingale heard directly from a refugee family about their reasons for returning to Syria🇸🇾, and saw firsthand how 🇪🇺EU support helps UNHCR sustain vital protection services and assistance for refugees.
To mark Environment and Climate Month, yesterday, @OxfaminJordan , in collaboration with @UNHCRJordan , organized a clean-up campaign in #Zaatari_Camp and a bazaar showcasing handmade crafts made from recycled materials. ♻️🌍🍀

Returning or staying? This is the dilemma facing refugees in Azraq camp, as each decision comes with its own considerations.
@Refugees share their stories with @paolozingale , Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation in 🇯🇴, offering a glimpse into camp life.
When girls are heard, they grow stronger. 🩷💪
@UNHCRJordan together with @MercyCorpsJO celebrated the #DayOfTheGirl in #ZaatariCamp, highlighting the importance of protecting girls’ rights and nurturing their mental well-being. ✨

When funding needs to be stretched to cover critical needs in refugee camps in 🇯🇴, we come up with #new_approaches.
We (donors, UN, civil society) map transparently real priorities, costs and available funding, and explore how to fill the gaps together.

At 65, Halima has spent over a decade in #ZaatariCamp after fleeing Syria. A mother, grandmother, and passionate gardener, she finds comfort in caring for her plants while holding onto hope for the future.🌿
"I hope Syria will be rebuilt and that we can return to our homeland"💙

Humanitarian solidarity takes many forms, from funding life-saving action to welcoming people forced to flee their homes.
We recognize the countries helping shoulder that responsibility.

In @ZaatariCamp today, I asked
‘What are your plans’?
They answered
‘Hard to tell - we are taking it day by day… We don’t know if we can go back just yet, but we also don’t know for how much longer we can make it here… things are becoming difficult, our options are limited…’
At 87, Mahmoud Al-Hariri, a refugee in Za’atari Camp, shares decades of memories and wisdom. His advice to younger generations: “Do not believe everything you hear, and do not repeat everything you are told.” #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons

Honored to meet today Brigadier-General Ayman Nuemat, Director of the Syrian Refugee Affairs Directorate (SRAD). The role of SRAD in ensuring law, order and safety for Syrian refugees cannot be overestimated. I look forward to building on our close collaboration of many years.

I was pleased to welcome Members of the @Europarl_EN in Azraq camp yesterday.
As they put it: “It’s one thing to read reports & quite another to see with one’s own eyes.”
From this visit, one message stood out: refugees need the space and support to make their own decisions.
Today in #ZaatariCamp, the🇩🇪 @GermanyAmman Ambassador met with refugees and heard firsthand about their challenges and hopes for the future. 🤝
With Germany’s support, UNHCR continues to provide vital protection and assistance despite funding gaps. 💙

Members of the European Parliament visited these essential services in Azraq camp that help refugees live in dignity, see the progress made and the needs that remain.
We thank the EU for its continued solidarity with @Refugees in #Jordan.
