Non-Syrian Refugee Needs Assessment in Jordan, 2021

A 2021 survey collected first-hand data on the humanitarian needs and livelihoods of non-Syrian refugee households in Jordan. The assessment was conducted by UNHCR to inform programmatic decisions and a vulnerability-based targeting strategy for food assistance. The data likely contains socio-economic profiles and vulnerability indicators.

Use Cases

• Identify vulnerable households for assistance based on socio-economic profiles described in the survey.
• Analyze the impact of COVID-19 on refugee livelihoods and basic needs as mentioned in the objectives.
• Develop targeting models for food assistance programs based on collected vulnerability data.
• Inform evidence-based policy decisions for refugee support using up-to-date household-level data.

Strengths

• Data collected directly from households for an extended sample, providing first-hand information.
• Assessment designed to inform specific programmatic decisions for WFP and UNHCR in Q2-Q3 2021.
• Focuses on a specific population (non-Syrian refugees in Jordan) during a defined period (2021).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single-country survey in 2021.
