Quarterly Socio-Economic Assessment of Refugees in Jordan, 2022

A quarterly survey series monitors changes in refugee vulnerability in Jordan throughout 2022. UNHCR collected information repeatedly from the same refugee families to examine household-level variations in economic vulnerability, food security, shelter, WASH, and health. The assessment expanded in Q3 2022 to include refugees from the Azraq and Zaatari Syrian refugee camps.

Use Cases

• Tracking changes in household economic vulnerability based on repeated quarterly surveys.
• Analyzing food security trends for refugee families in Jordan.
• Monitoring shelter and WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) conditions over time.
• Assessing health sector needs and variations at the household level.
• Comparing vulnerability indicators between camp-based (Azraq, Zaatari) and non-camp refugee populations.

Strengths

• Longitudinal design tracking the same families quarterly for temporal analysis.
• Covers multiple sectors: economic vulnerability, food security, shelter, WASH, and health.
• Expanded geographic coverage to include two major Syrian refugee camps from Q3 2022.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provided in PDF and WEB APP formats, which may require extraction for analysis.
