NEEDS Needs are calculated based exclusively on the number of registered Syrians as the registration process provides the minimum of data validity and integrity necessary for the cash activity. Out of the one million Syrians projected to be in Jordan by the end of 2013, some 700,000 are expected to be living outside of the camps. Of that number, around 600,000 will be registered by UNHCR. The longer the Syrians have to stay in Jordan the less likely they will be able to make ends meet with assets they brought or, barring wider access to the labour market, income they may generate. New arrivals may have more urgent needs as the situation deteriorates further in Syria. Accordingly, it is expected that by the end of the year 75 per cent of the registered Syrians outside the camps will be in need of some form of cash assistance, up from 60 per cent at the beginning of the year.
OBJECTIVES (as per RRP5) Ensure that the basic household needs of extremely vulnerable Syrians living in urban and rural areas across Jordan are met through financial support.

KEY AUGUST DEVELOPMENTS • Out of the few projects that came to a conculsion in Aug 2013, all were either extended, renewed or re-submitted to donors for extension. The number of beneficiaries accordingly keeps climbing, but at a significantly less dramatic scale than projected in the RRP5. • UNHCR distributed an Eid donation of 1.8 million USD of Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi. • In close collaboration with the NFI and shelter working groups, winterization standards were defined.
