Vulnerability Assessment Framework Population Survey for Refugees Living in Camps, 2022 (Jordan)

Abstract

The Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF) is a key tool used by humanitarian and development organizations in Jordan. It contributes to coherent vulnerability identification and programme delivery across sectors. . It was designed in 2014 with a focus on Syrian refugees residing outside of camps. This dataset collected between November and December 2021 presents the first efforts in expanding the scopes to the Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps.
Residents of both Azraq and Zaatari camps were randomly sampled to explore trends and vulnerabilities specific to the camp context. As the questionnaire was first used to collect the data in the urban setting, it was tailored for the refugee camps context to account for the camp residents’ living circumstances, allowing for a deeper understanding of this specific group. A total of 10,141 individuals, representing 2,208 families living in 1,620 households, were interviewed in person.
