This report makes several contributions to the existing literature on this topic. First, it assesses the management model of a complex emergency response in urban areas in middle-income countries; most existing literature about humanitarian responses focuses on camps in weak states. Second, it brings together views of a broad spectrum of stakeholders to provide a comprehensive, multidimensional analysis of management of the Syrian refugee crisis in Jordan and Lebanon in particular. Third, this study presents a new framework for planning, evaluating, and managing refugee crises in urban settings, both in the Syrian refugee crisis as well as other such situations going forward. Fourth, it provides concrete recommendations for how to better support the needs of Syrian urban refugees in Jordan and Lebanon and for how to rethink refugee-assistance coordination around the world for improved effectiveness in the future. This study drew on multiple methods: a literature review; interviews in Jordan and Lebanon with officials from donor countries, UN agencies, host governments, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); telephone interviews with international experts; and focus groups with refugees"--Back cover. 607 $aSyria$xHistory$yCivil War, 2011-$xRefugees$zJordan 607 $aSyria$xHistory$yCivil War, 2011-$xRefugees$zLebanon 607 $aSyria$xHistory$yCivil War, 2011-$xRefugees$xServices for$xManagement 676 $a956.91042 700 $aCulbertson$b Shelly$0910144 702 $aOliker$b Olga 702 $aBaruch$b Ben$c(Policy scientist), 702 $aBlum$b Ilana 712 02$aRand Corporation.$bNational Security Research Division. 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of State, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220084803321 996 $aRethinking coordination of services to refugees in urban areas$92886607 997 $aUNINA
