Helpline SOP – UNHCR Jordan
Category: SOP and Guidance
Organization: UNHCR
Country: Jordan
Link: Helpline SOP – UNHCR Jordan
Profile: This SOP is an essential tool that provides a
comprehensive framework to establish and manage
a sophisticated call centre. This includes the use
of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and a ticketing
system linked to the Refugee Assistance Information
System (RAIS).
The SOP has supported the implementation of the
helpline in Jordan. This helpline is one of the first of its
kind for humanitarian responses and has inspired other
call centres, including multi-country ones. The helpline
provides information on services and responds to
feedback and complaints of all kinds. Refugees, asylumseekers and host community members are regular users
of this two-way communication channel.

Why to Use the Tool: While the scale and scope of the
Jordan Helpline is larger than those of other contact
centres, the tools and practices covered by this SOP may
be very useful when developing effective call centres
