Socio-Economic Survey on Refugees in Host Communities - Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF), 2024 - Jordan

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. 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.

Geographic coverage
---------------------------

Whole country, host communities (excluding camps).

Analysis unit
---------------------------

Household, Case (family), Individual

Kind of data
---------------------------

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

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.

Mode of data collection
---------------------------

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument
---------------------------

Questionnaire contained the following sections: Household Demographics, Shelter, WASH, Consumption and Expenditure, Financial Situation, Health, Education, Livelihoods, and Child Labour.

{'Abstract': '摘要
---------------------------
本脆弱性评估框架（Vulnerability Assessment Framework，简称VAF）是约旦人道主义和发展组织的关键工具。该框架有助于在各个领域实现脆弱性的连贯识别和项目执行。此工具及特定领域的指标由跨部门工作组（Inter-Sector Working Group，简称ISWG）开发，并与领域负责人紧密协作。VAF将所有特定领域的评估整合为一个整体，旨在避免数据收集活动的重复，并减轻难民家庭的数据负担。
对于2023年的第六次VAF人口研究，随机抽取了居住在所有州的长住社区中的难民家庭，以探讨在约旦境内所有国籍难民群体的主题和领域脆弱性。在本轮研究中，新增了一系列问题，旨在捕捉气候变化对难民生活的影响。
该数据于2023年9月至11月期间通过实地方式进行收集。

地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
全国范围，长住社区（不包括难民营）。

分析单位
---------------------------
家庭、案例（家庭），个人。

数据类型
---------------------------
样本调查数据 [ssd]。

抽样程序
---------------------------
与世界银行共同制定的分层抽样策略旨在生成尽可能精确的统计数据，同时尽可能降低成本，并确保误差率低于5%的代表性。分层计划基于两个变量：国籍（叙利亚人、伊拉克人和其他）和位置。叙利亚人在十二个州均有代表，而非叙利亚人在约旦的各地区均有代表，包括安曼、中央/安曼以外（包括巴尔卡、马德巴和扎尔卡）、北部（包括艾尤恩、伊尔比德、杰拉什、马弗拉克）和南部（包括亚喀巴、卡拉克、塔菲拉和马安）。样本从由联合国难民署约旦办事处管理的ProGres登记数据库中登记的案例中随机抽取。样本包括居住在城市、郊区和农村地区的难民，不包括居住在难民营的难民。

数据收集方式
---------------------------
计算机辅助个人访谈 [capi]。

研究工具
---------------------------
问卷包含以下部分：家庭人口统计、住所、卫生和健康、消费和支出、财务状况、健康、教育、生计和童工。
