Summary
Introduction and Purpose:
These multi-sectorial needs assessment was commissioned by the Jordanian Red Crescent and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in July 2021 in all the twelve governorates of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, to study how the needs were impacted, and what potential new needs have emerged during the COVID19- era aiming to ensure that the essential basic needs of vulnerable households across the Kingdom are maintained. The assessment focuses on, and details three main sectors as prioritized by JNRCS which are Health, Socio-Economic situation, Disaster Risk Management, and a final section on Community Engagement and Accountability.
Assessment Methodology:
To implement the assessment, the below mixed methods were followed to collect data:
-1 Survey: Data from 2668 quantitative interviews were considered for analyses in all the Jordan governorates with different population groups (host community, refugees, migrants) taking into consideration the gender and age-groups inclusion.
-2 In depth qualitative interviews: 20 key informants who have technical experience in the three main sectors, and community representativeness where interviewed.
-3 Desk review: More than 15 documents (reports and studies) around health,
COVID19-, disaster risk management and priority needs for the population in Jordan were reviewed and included in the inception report.
Ethical considerations were followed during the study implementation to ensure voluntary participation and that the Do-No-Harm approach is being abided by.
Few limitations were encountered throughout the process like difficulties to some areas due to the long distance especially in the southern part of Jordan, lack of critical data elements in some beneficiaries’ lists, lack of representativeness of migrants, and few technical issues related to the data collection system.
