This article presents a review of the available secondary data on Somali, Sudanese and Yemeni refugees and other migrants in Jordan. Collectively, these groups are denoted as “displaced minorities” for the purposes of this report, not to diminish their importance, but to acknowledge their representation of smaller populations whose needs are often overlooked relative to other, larger displaced groups in Jordan. Given the limited nature of reporting on Somali, Sudanese and Yemeni refugees and other migrants in Jordan, the study supplemented desk research with a small series of key informant interviews carried out from February to April 2017. Nine open-ended interviews were conducted in Amman with NGO staff, researchers and members of the focus communities. These interviews were exploratory in nature and conducted in order to triangulate information from secondary data, identify key issues and highlight information gaps. Policy and programme recommendations outlined at the end of this article were discussed at a roundtable held in Amman in April 2017, attended by staff from ten NGOs, research institutions, and UN agencies.
