Abstract

The main objective of the Mobile Needs Assessment is to update the knowledge base on the humanitarian needs and livelihoods situation at the household level for non-Syrian refugees in Jordan, inform the development of a vulnerability-based targeting strategy and strengthen the current food assistance framework, with the goal of providing longer-term assistance based on needs and improve food security in a sustainable manner.

Specific objectives of the Mobile Needs Assessment include:
- Collecting first-hand up-to-date data on an extended sample of non-Syrian refugees;
- Exploring and understanding refugees’ basic needs, vulnerability, and livelihood opportunities also in the context of the COVID-19 onset;
- Describing the socio-economic profile of and identify the most vulnerable non-Syrian refugee households;
- Informing the programmatic decisions and targeting approach development for WFP in Q2-Q3 2021 and contributing to the existing evidence on targeting for UNHCR.
