UNHCR Jordan released the results of the study ‘Situation of Refugees in Jordan Q1 2022’. The situation of refugees in Jordan is a quarterly analysis that started in Q1 2022 to monitor changes in vulnerability for refugees residing in host communities. Building on UNHCR’s Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF) Report conducted in 2021, the analysis takes a sectoral approach in examining the hardships facing refugees, with an in-depth look at the economy. Future analyses will be conducted on a quarterly basis using a panel methodology to assess the same refugee households over time. The report for Q1 2022 is uploaded at the UNHCR Operational Data Portal here: link.
