APPENDIX D
INTERVIEWS WITH REFUGEES IN JORDAN AND LEBANON To explore the effect of migration on both country of destination and country of origin from a community angle, interviews were conducted with 21 refugees in two of the biggest camps in the Middle East and North Africa region. This research included 10 interviews conducted at the Zaatari camp in Jordan and 11 interviews conducted at the Shatila camp in Lebanon. The interviews were administered by the West Asia-North Africa (WANA) Institute. WANA also transcribed recordings of each interview and prepared interview summaries. The interviews were conducted in person and over the phone. All interviewees agreed to WANA’s consent form for participation in research interviews. Anonymity and confidentiality in the aggregated findings were ensured through the use of randomized key informant codes. Included in chapter 3 are real-life stories from refugees living in camp settings: one narrative zooms in on a day in the life of a refugee living in the Zaatari camp; another narrative provides the story behind the establishment of the Shatila camp. These sample narratives do not represent all residents of the Shatila and Zaatari camps; however, their opinions are used to study attitudes among forcibly displaced persons in these areas. In addition, in October 2020, WANA administered a questionnaire to 20 Syrian refugees living in four areas in Jordan (Amman, Mafraq, Ramtha, and Zaatari) to document their vulnerabilities in relation to water security and the COVID-19 pandemic (box D.1).
