Resettlement and complementary pathways (ongoing international protection and continuous advancement towards greater enjoyment of rights) for Syrian refugees have received increased attention, yet little is known as to how this has improved Syrian refugees’ access to a durable solution for social and economic integration into host countries. UrbanEmerge delivered research in Jordan for the Durable Solutions Platform, part funded by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), that will provide insights for wider programme design, for the DRC and other NGOs. A key area explored were the options available and the perception of Syrian refugees about the existence and availability of opportunities for resettlement and complimentary pathways in other countries.
