1. The document reviews Jordan's cash for work program that provides temporary employment to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians through community projects. 2. It describes several cash for work projects in Jordan, including solid waste management, revitalizing urban infrastructure in Qweirah, and protecting water reservoirs. These projects aimed to improve living conditions while creating jobs. 3. The author recommends making cash for work programs more consistent and permanent. Host communities and refugees should both be included and involved in selecting project types. More international development support is also needed to accompany livelihood programs.
