The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. In 2012, WFP Jordan started to assist Syrian refugees to cover their food needs.
In Jordan, WFP provides food assistance through the cash-based transfer programme (e-Card/Master Card).
In 2015 and 2021, many families were removed from WFP assistance for targeting reasons to direct the available fund to the families most in need.
WFP e-Cards are blue. Only a small group of families has orange cards.
All WFP beneficiaries in host communities (outside the camps) receive their monthly entitlements on their e-Cards during the first week of each month.
