I. General / Inter-Sector Update
New version of Services Advisor: The new version of the Services Advisor (a web-based system to map various services available for refugees) was presented to service providers for refugees during the workshops held on 24 – 25 February. The Services Advisor allows users to view available services for refugees on a map and in a service directory, where they can filter by sectors, areas, names of service providers and referral requirements. It is useful for refugee sector working groups to map service provisions for refugees (i.e. 4Ws) and to identify gaps in services. In coming weeks services providers will continue updating the information about their services available for refugees. (See http://advisor.unhcr.jo and attached the leaflet.)
Inter-Sector Working Group Work Plan 2016: The Inter-Sector Working Group developed its work plan for January – June 2016. The key focus areas include continued usage of the Vulnerability Assessment Framework, maintaining transparent data collection and information management systems, promotion of inter-sector linkages, building capacity of coordinators and strengthening gender equality measures. The work plan is now available at the inter-agency information sharing portal. http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/download.php?id=10342
