Conclusion

More initiatives to provide equity to the most vulnerable youths especially those with disabilities.
More care providers, and funding needed for hospitals and clinics especially in refugee camps.
More funding, teachers, and books needed to educate children especially refugees.
Funding and new policies are needed for better education, health, and equality.
Jordan's GDP has fallen over the past ten years and is only 26% of the worlds average.
Therefore Jordan's ability to care for all its people is compromised.
The costs have risen but funding/money has fallen.
Jordan has accepted many refugees over the last decade.
