The Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF) is a tool developed by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, in Jordan to track changes in refugees’ living situation over time.

In 2022, the VAF was applied to Jordan’s largest Syrian refugee camps, Azraq and Zaatari, for the first time. The 2024 assessment builds on that baseline to enable greater understanding of the camps’ demographics and to facilitate comparisons between camps and over time.
