The proposed side event aims to address the future of Syrian refugees in Jordan, focusing on camp settings, pathways to integration, and enhancing the effectiveness of international aid efforts. Grounded in research conducted by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and the in-country experience of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Jordan, the event seeks to stimulate dialogue among key stakeholders to re-evaluate existing responses and explore innovative solutions for sustainable outcomes.

The overarching objective of this side event is to foster meaningful dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders to develop comprehensive strategies for improving the wellbeing and livelihoods of Syrian refugees in Jordan, while enhancing the effectiveness of international aid efforts in the region.

This event aligns with the goals of the Brussels VIII Conference by contributing to the broader discussions on supporting the future of Syria and the region, with a specific focus on the critical issues facing Syrian refugees in Jordan.
