Marka camp, (known as Hiteen camp by the host government), was established in 1968 on an area of 0.92 square kilometres, 10 km northeast of Amman. The camp is known locally as Schneller after the German rehabilitation centre established in the area before the camp was set up. Many camp residents originally came from the Ajjour, Beersheba, Beit Kahel, Haifa, Jaffa, Jericho, Dawaymeh, Lid, Beit Niteef Yalo, Zakaria and other villages. UNRWA's installations in the camp also provide services for refugees from the camp's surroundings.
Therefore, the Marka Camp Improvement Project (MCIP) was initiated to have a
developmental role rather than the previous focus on specific separate services and relief.

UNRWA in issuing the award for the subject requirement wants to conduct the  Socio-Economic Study at Marka camp. The outcomes of the study will facilitate the works  of the Camp Improvement Project s at the camp.
