More about the 2023 Annual Needs Assessment

The assessment highlights the general need to reduce aid dependency and intensify financial inclusion and income generation opportunities, as well as bolster social cohesion approaches between refugees and the host community, with resilience-based, cross-sectoral interventions.

Key findings from the 2023 assessment focus on insights across various thematic areas, particularly protection. This comprehensive assessment not only provides key insights but also serves as a critical roadmap for CARE Jordan’s future efforts in supporting and empowering communities.

Established in 1948 in the wake of the Palestinian crisis, CARE Jordan today leads a unified humanitarian and development response to sustainably support vulnerable Jordanian and refugee populations, expand effective partnerships, and enhance empowerment programming, especially for women and girls.

You Can’t Blame the Weather: Preventing Hunger in the 2026–27 El Niño

"You Can't Blame the Weather" is the first in a series on the impact of El Niño. It highlights that donor choices have the power to decide the outcomes for millions vulnerable to the climate shocks posed by El Niño. These shocks are arriving at a moment of deep precarity for communities dealing with conflict, market disruption, and the compounding forces of price hikes in the wake of escalating conflict in the Middle East. The humanitarian community has deployed rapid, large-scale crises before, such as in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and while these responses weren't perfect, they did measurably mitigate the worst potential impacts of the crisis. We can learn and improve from this recent history to prevent, respond, and recover from El Niño shocks in 2026-2027.
