Key takeaway WFP launched the second training cohort in Zaatari and Azraq camps, engaging 123 participants across eight vocational tracks, building skills for their futures.
Why this matters
The World Food Programme's efforts in Jordan highlight the ongoing need for humanitarian assistance in the region. With 610,000 people assisted in May 2026, the organization's work is crucial in supporting vulnerable populations, including Syrian refugees. The fact that 197,000 Syrian refugees have returned to Syria from Jordan since December 2024 suggests that some progress is being made in terms of repatriation, but the continued presence of refugees in Jordan underscores the need for sustained support. The WFP's focus on skills training, as seen in the launch of the second training cohort in Zaatari and Azraq camps, is particularly noteworthy, as it aims to equip refugees with the skills necessary to rebuild their lives. The requirement of USD 22M in funding over the next six months will be critical in ensuring the continuation of these programs, and the success of these efforts will depend on the ability to secure sufficient funding.
