When first adopted in February 2016, the Jordan Compact introduced a new paradigm for responsibility-sharing that was based on a series of mutual commitments between Jordan as a refugee-hosting country and the international community. Such an arrangement promoted economic development and social opportunities for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians to cope with the displacement crisis. Its anchoring at subsequent Brussels Conferences ‘Supporting the future of Syria and Region’ hosted by the European Union and co-chaired by the United Nations gave visibility to the more than 100 reciprocal policy and financial actions and established an important framework for monitoring progress.
