The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a non-profit organization registered with the Ministry of Interior of Jordan since 2008 and operational in Jordan since 2012.  Since 2012, NRC has worked to build the resilience of Syrian refugees and Jordanian communities that host them. NRC supports vulnerable refugees and Jordanians in north and central Jordan and Azraq and Zatari camps.  In Jordan, NRC provides services in the following sectors: Shelter, Education, Youth, Basic Needs, Livelihoods and Information, Counselling, and Legal Assistance (ICLA).  
Jordan is home to over 1.4m youth and 70% of the population is under 30 years old1.  This ‘youth bulge’ creates challenges in provision of youth services and meeting socio-economic needs, but also presents a potential ‘youth dividend’ to support Jordan’s development

In order to respond to this situation, the NRC Youth Programme in Jordan supports young people gain skills and build relationships to pursue a variety of pathways including social engagement and volunteering, livelihoods, and further study.  

The evaluation aims to learn more about the impact of the current programme on young people as well as the effectiveness and relevance of activities given the contextual changes in the camps. This learning will contribute to shaping the upcoming multi-year Core Competency strategy that the team will design in Q3 of 2020.   

Objectives
The main purpose of the evaluation is to support programme learning and provide guidance for future programme direction and strategy at the Jordan level and to feed into global programme development for adolescents and youth more widely in NRC. In addition, the evaluation should be an opportunity for NRC to be accountable to beneficiaries, partners and donors.  
  The work will evaluate the youth programme in support of Syrian refugee youth, which has been implemented in Za’atari since early 2013, and Azraq since early 2015. The evaluation will focus on the period between Jan. 2019 – to date and will employ qualitative and participatory methodologies.
