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. The tool and sector-specific indicators have been developed by the Inter-Sector Working Group (ISWG), in close coordination with the Sector Leads. The VAF consolidates all sector-specific assessments into one, with the intent of deduplicating data collection exercises and minimizing the burden on refugee households.
For the sixth VAF population study in 2023, refugee households residing in host communities were randomly sampled across all governorates to explore thematic and sectoral vulnerabilities for refugee populations of all nationalities within Jordan. In this iteration, a new set of questions were included to capture how climate change affects refugees’ lives.
This data was collected in person between September 2023 and November 2023.

The stratified sampling strategy was developed jointly with the World Bank and designed to generate the most precise statistics possible and at the lowest possible cost and to allow for representativeness at a margin of error below 5%. Stratification was planned along two variables: nationality (Syrian, Iraqi and Other) and location. Syrians were represented across the twelve governorates, while non-Syrians were represented across the regions of Jordan; Amman, Central/outside Amman (consisting of Balqa, Madaba and Zarqa), North (consisting of Ajloun, Irbid, Jerash, Mafraq) and South (consisting of Aqaba, Karak, Tafilah, Ma'an). The sample was randomly drawn from cases registered in the ProGres registration database administered by UNHCR Jordan. The sample includes refugees residing in urban, peri-urban and rural settings and excludes those living in refugee camps.
Questionnaire contained the following sections: Household Demographics, Shelter, WASH, Consumption and Expenditure, Financial Situation, Health, Education, Livelihoods, and Child Labour.
