I. General / Inter-Sector Update
Gender Equality: In May the 2015 Awards for Excellence in Service was announced by UNHCR. The Award for Team Achievements in Gender Integration goes to dedicated work in increasing the attention to the needs of women, girls, boys and men in the development of refugee programming in Jordan. The Jordan Refugee Inter-Sector Working Group has set up a cross-sectoral network called the Sector Gender Focal Point Network focusing on the promotion of gender equality, which developed a tool to monitor Gender Equality Measures in humanitarian projects within a pilot project. During the reporting month, the Sector Gender Focal Points Network organized a three-day training event on the Gender Equality in Humanitarian Action. Based on the knowledge obtained, the Sector Gender Focal points have started to further develop the gender analysis and gender-sensitive planning, monitoring and evaluation and reporting. For the details of the Sector Gender Focal Points Network, please see: http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/working_group.php?Page=Country&LocationId=107&Id=70
Services Advisor: During the reporting period, rolling out of the new web-based mapping system “Services Advisor” was prepared, so that the training sessions and the go-live are expected from the second week of June. 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. (See http://jordan.servicesadvisor.org/ and attached the leaflet.)
