AMMAN — The Jordan Response Plan for the Syria Crisis (JRP) meets only $235 million, or 10.3 per cent of the funding requirements during the first half of 2022, figures from the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation revealed on Monday.
The JRP's total funding requirements stand at $2.28 billion.
The plan remains largely unfunded, with a $2.045 billion deficit, or 89.7 per cent of the total amount of the required financing, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Of the $235 million already secured, $83.4 million went to support Syrian refugees, while about $59.9 million was provided to host communities, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
