Displacement is currently at the world’s highest recorded levels, with more than 65 million people forced from their homes by conflict, violence, and persecution. Over 740,000 refugees – mostly fleeing from violence in Syria – are registered in Jordan.

Forced from homes, accessing basic services like food, water, and electricity can be a challenge. The United Nations and partners are leveraging technology to better deliver urgent services for refugees living in camps and urban areas in Jordan. From blockchain-enabled iris scanning to solar power, the UN’s commitment to innovation allows for more effective, timely, and coordinated responses to today’s most pressing global challenges.
