This assessment aims at providing an overview of the food security situation in areas of Jordan with a high concentration of Syrian refugees, as well as at assessing current opportunities for livelihood interventions to address the income gap faced by vulnerable Syrian refugee and Jordanian host community populations. Based on vulnerability studies conducted by REACH and WFP, the target population of Syrian refugees and Jordanian host communities was selected in six governorates: Mafraq, Irbid, Zarqa, Balqa, Ajloun and Jarash.
