INTERAGENCY NUTRITION SURVEY
ON SYRIAN REFUGEES IN
JORDANPRELIMINARY RESULTS OF SOME KEY INDICATORS
4 MAY 2014
AMMAN, JORDAN
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
• Medair• CDC• UNFPA, UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, and WHO
BACKGROUND
• Two independent surveys• 1 survey on the Syrian refugees in Zaatari camp• 1 survey on all Syrian refugees outside the camp
• Data collection ended on 1 May 2014• Results of some key indicators are presented here
SURVEY OBJECTIVES
• To estimate the prevalence of acute malnutrition among children 6-59 months
• To estimate the prevalence of acute malnutrition among women of reproductive age
• To measure the prevalence of anaemia in children aged 6-59 months and in women of reproductive age between 15-49 years (non-pregnant)
• To investigate IYCF practices among children 0-23 months
• To define the current state of food security among the refugee population
• To determine the population's access to, and use of, improved water and sanitation and hygiene facilities

METHODOLOGY: ZAATARY CAMP SURVEY• Two stage cluster survey design (11x31)• Blocks were selected at the first stage sampling using PPS
technique• Block level population estimates obtained from IRD was used for
the PPS• Households within the selected blocks were then selected using
the systematic random sampling method
METHODOLOGY: OUTSIDE CAMP SURVEY• Two stage cluster survey design (10X52)• Sub-districts were selected at the first stage sampling using PPS based on
population estimates obtained from UNHCR• Households within the selected sub-districts registered with UNHCR
were then randomly selected for the survey• Selected households were contacted using the telephone numbers in the
UNHCR registration database; information on availability and willingness to participate in the survey was obtained prior to visiting the households
SURVEY TEAMS, DATA COLLECTION, AND SUPERVISION• A team of 6 (each consisting of 4-5 members) were used to collect the
data for both surveys• Each member of the survey team underwent a 3-day training and a
standardisation test and pilot test.• The two surveys were carried out sequentially – all six teams did the data
collection in Zaatri camp first followed by the outside survey.• The data collection in Zaatari camp lasted for 6 days and the data
collection for the out-of-camp survey was completed in 10 days
DATA COLLECTION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE• Each team was supervised by one supervisor• Mobile phones (Android OS) were used to collect data• Data was analysed on a daily basis and feedback were provided to
teams, as necessary• The ENA for SMART software determined the quality of the data as
excellent

CONCLUSIONS• Malnutrition levels are low in both camp and outside the camp
• The levels of anaemia is high in the camp and exceeds the global cut off for public health significance and needs immediate attention
• The prevalence of anemia outside the camp is medium in terms of public health significance
• The high level of anaemia may also indicate a poor micronutrient status in general
• Malnutrition among women of reproductive age is higher than children
• The vaccination coverage is higher in the camp compared to outside
• The survey methodology worked well in general despite difficulties of finding the households in some areas
