| Title | Earmarking Humanitarian Aid by Nationality: The United State's Contributions to UNHCRs Syrians and Non-Syrians in Jordan |
| Summary | This paper aims to address some of the shortfalls in the distribution of humanitarian aid by donor countries. It focuses on why the United States earmarks part of its humanitarian aid for refugees donated to UNHCR Jordan by nationality. The paper unpacks the motives behind such earmarking. The internal motives discussed are mainly philanthropic and moral obligations, political interests and public opinion. It also explores external factors that could influence donors to earmark in such a way including UNHCR and the Government of Jordan’s role. Through understanding why the U.S earmarks portions of its aid to UNHCR Jordan in such a way, the paper hopes to raise awareness and encourage action from the world community to work towards better fulfilling the humanitarian goal of aid which should be given on the basis of need alone. |
