This analysis was conducted by International Medical Corps and funded by the TOPS program.
As of July 2016, there were 656,400 Syrian refugees in Jordan, with 37,659 living in Azraq Camp. There are no food security and dietary diversity indicators available for Azraq Camp so the purpose of this assessment is to:
To understand the extent to which economic poverty and typical dietary habits prevent households and vulnerable individuals from consuming a nutritious diet;
To understand how refugees in settings such as Azraq Camp can meet energy and nutrient requirements using local foods, and use this information to inform nutrition and food security program design;
To inform and influence nutrition and food security related policy and advocacy processes within Azraq Camp, and in similar protracted camp settings;
To build capacity of key partners in this methodology.
