Jordan - Comprehensive Food Security Monitoring Exercise (CFSME): Registered Syrian Refugees in Jordan, 2016

The overall objectives of Comprehensive Food Security Monitoring Exercise (CFSME) 2016 are to assess current levels of refugee food security, identify trends in needs and vulnerabilities, and recognise the most vulnerable refugees. In turn, this informs WFP targeting and supports the prioritisation of families and households requiring urgent assistance. The trend analysis assesses the impact of specific contextual factors on food security, which can then be used to inform future humanitarian and government initiatives aimed at improving refugee welfare, as well as refining targeting and modalities of transfer. Furthermore, the CFSME 2016 data is comparable with the UNHCR-led interagency Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF), contributing to a wider information repository on refugee vulnerability for more effective humanitarian targeting.
