The programme, 'Assistance to specific vulnerable groups affected by the Syrian crisis in Jordan,’ is being implemented by HelpAge International (HelpAge) in partnership with Handicap International (HI) from April 2013 to September 2014. It is funded by the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) (£318,735); Age International (AI) (£250,000); and the Elsie Pilkington Trust (£10,000). Its objective is to 'Contribute to improving the lives of older people and people with specific needs living in Jordan (…) affected by the Syria crisis by providing cash assistance and improving access to humanitarian and public services so that they can meet their immediate needs.' This evaluation assesses the extent to which the programme has met its objectives, and proposes ways to improve HelpAge and HI’s future emergency programming and rehabilitation activities. It was conducted over 25 working days from end-May to July 2014, including an inception phase, data collection (field trip to Lebanon and Jordan, a detailed review of 14 documents, and in-depth interviews with 40 key stakeholders), analysis, feedback and reporting.
