WFP Operations in Jordan
- In February, WFP provided monthly food assistance to 297,000 refugees in camps and communities, at reduced levels (USD 21 per person per month). Nearly 29,000 of returnees to Syria who were assisted previously by WFP, were excluded from assistance (representing 9 percent of WFP's 2025 total targeted beneficiaries), following routine validation of refugees residing in Jordan.
- WFP continued its nutrition awareness education intervention in Zaatari camp in cooperation with the International Medical Corps (IMC). In February, more than 360 children and pregnant and breastfeeding women were reached through group awareness sessions and peer support groups to promote positive dietary habits.
- WFP has launched a Geographic Information System (GIS)-enabled application to improve the efficiency of social workers conducting home visits for the National Aid Fund (NAF), Jordan’s main social assistance provider. The application enables users to plan visit locations within a designated geographic area and offers GPS-guided navigation to ensure optimal routes in terms of both distance and speed. This will reduce travel time, minimize fuel consumption, and improve the overall efficiency of data validation visits.
- In February, WFP and the Ministry of Education continued implementing the National School Feeding Programme. The programme provided date bars to 430,000 students in camps and communities and healthy meals to 90,000 students in communities.
- Under its climate portfolio, WFP and Tetra Tech, a consulting firm specialised in climate engineering, environmental solutions, and technical services, started the preparatory phase of the “Credit and Loans Initiatives for Modern Agricultural Technologies Enhancement (CLIMATE)”. This initiative will strengthen the institutional capacity of the Jordan Agricultural Credit Corporation through the development of financial products aligned with Islamic financing principles.
- WFP Jordan partnered with the Food Security Council to launch a pilot project enhancing smallholder farmers' access to high-value markets. The initiative strengthens market linkages and supports postharvest services to improve agricultural product marketing
