The 2022 CARE Jordan Annual Needs Assessment is the eleventh installment of a series that dates back to 2012. The aim of the assessment is to identify, analyze, and track the needs, vulnerabilities, and coping mechanisms of host communities and refugees in Jordan. It is targeted at addressing knowledge gaps related to a lack of longitudinal data on the needs of vulnerable population groups.

CARE Jordan conducts these annual assessments for the benefit of all humanitarian and development actors with the objective of building a better response that addresses the needs of the most vulnerable populations in Jordan.

The assessment is structured around the following themes: protection, livelihoods, education, durable solutions and, for the first time in 2022, climate change. Gender equality is a cross-cutting theme of the assessment. There are also several assessment groups, defined as, Jordanian host communities, Syrian refugees (including both those in Azraq Camp and urban areas), other refugees and asylum seekers (including Iraqis, Yeminis, Somalis and Sudanese refugees) and vulnerable groups including people with disabilities, boys, girls, women and older people. Participants in the 2022 CARE Jordan Annual Needs Assessment live across the northern parts of the country in Amman, Azraq Camp, Azraq town, Irbid, Mafraq, and Zarqa. The Annual Needs Assessment is confined to the areas where CARE works.
