She will also meet with Syrian refugees and other beneficiaries of PRM-funded programs that provide life-saving assistance to refugees and vulnerable host communities in Jordan, and that promote resiliency and self-reliance.
SBO Jackson will also meet with Jordanian government officials, the diplomatic community, and international and non-governmental organization officials to discuss the refugee response in Jordan and underscore the U. S. commitment to supporting refugees and the communities that host them.
