Data Assistant

Action Against Hunger (ACF) is a leading humanitarian and development agency working to combat the causes of hunger and malnutrition in over 46 countries worldwide and is operating in Jordan since 2014. More than a decade into the Syrian conflict, more than 1.3 million Syrians have sought refuge in Jordan; 676,164 are registered refugees and approximately 80% live in non-camp settings. This influx of refugees has strained Jordan's economy and resources, with Syrians often accepting worse working conditions and lower compensation than Jordanians and taking on low-skill, informal jobs in sectors such as in manufacturing, construction and agriculture. In 2024, Jordan had a 21% unemployment rate. For Syrian refugees, unemployment rates are significantly worse with increased restrictions on legal avenues for livelihoods.
