Comparative analysis of aid architecture systems in Crisis Context – Financial flows in countries affected by the Syria Crisis

Client: UNDP Sub-regional Response Facility, Amman

Donor: United Nations Development Program

Countries: Jordan, Lebanon

​

ACTFOR Performance was requested by the UNDP Sub-regional Response Facility in Amman, Jordan to do a study of the financial flows and the effectiveness of aid into Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt; five countries affected by the Syria refugee crisis. The study was based on a review of documents, visits to Jordan and Lebanon, where many stakeholders were interviewed, and a short survey. Our team gathered and analyzed financial data over the last five years, looked into aid modalities, evaluated the effectiveness of the humanitarian response, and the quality of coordination mechanism, and provided recommendations to harmonize short term humanitarian needs and long-term development needs (increasing the resilience of these countries). The study was updated in January and February 2017, on the basis of new datasets.
