Creating a link between education and jobs
With no immediate prospect of returning to Syria, significant numbers of Syrian refugees will likely remain in Jordan for the foreseeable future and may choose to stay – should they have the option to remain permanently in the country. Enabling Syrian refugee and vulnerable Jordanian youth to live full and productive lives, through investments in building linkages between education and livelihoods will not only allow them to fulfill their potential and achieve self-reliance, but also promises wider benefits to Jordan’s economy and society. Looking forward – if and when safe and voluntary return becomes possible – such investments will help to secure the future stability of Syria, by building and sustaining the people that will be key to its renewal as a society.
