    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. This dataset was collected between December 2023 and January 2024 and focuses 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. The questionnaire was tailored for the refugee camps context to account for the camp residents’ living circumstances, allowing for a deeper understanding of this specific group. In this iteration, a new set of questions were included to capture how climate change affects refugees’ lives.
