**_Notes_** :

- The table shows the regression results on pre-specified consumption and expenditures using the 2021 in-person data. Each row is its own dependent variable.

- The outcomes that require definitions are: Total Consumption is log of the sum of food consumed in last seven days (Cereals and cereal products, Live animals, meat, and other parts of slaughtered land animals; Fish and other seafood; Milk, other dairy products, and eggs; Oils and fats; Fruits and nuts; Vegetables, tubers, pulses; Sugar and desserts; Ready-made food and other food products (baby food, spices)) multiplied by number of months consumed in last 12 months, home-produced goods multiplied by months produced, annualized food received as gifts and annualized non-food purchases (utilities; water; infant needs; household and hygiene items; linens; clothing and footwear; basic household items; and school costs). Food Gifts and Assistance are annualized by multiplying the monthly estimate by 12 since total value of food consumed that was received as gift (from friends, neighbors) or in-kind assistance is asked in the past 30 days. Annual Own Food Production is defined as the food that the household grew or produced and consume in a typical week multiplied by number of months in which the household consumed food that the household grew or produced. Overall Food Consumption Index is defined a mean effects index of the sum of the aforementioned nine food types, home-produced goods, and assistance last week and then in a typical week. The index is standardized by subtracting the control group’s mean and dividing by its standard deviation. Food Diversity is defined as the number of food categories consumed during the past 12 months. Reduced Coping Strategy Index is a measure of food insecurity and is defined following WFP’s guidelines from the five coping strategies that the household may have used in the seven days prior to the interview (Rely on less preferred foods [weight 1]; Borrow food, or reply on help from a friend or relative [weight 2]; Limit portion size at meal-times [weight 1]; Restrict consumption by adults in order for small children to eat [weight 3]; Reduce number of meals eaten in a day [weight 1]) and its values vary between 0 and 56. Total Asset Value is defined as the sum of non-food expenses in last 12 months and expenses on durables, which is defined as money spent on cellular phones, televisions, motorized vehicles, air conditioners, refrigerators, propane heaters, water tanks, computers and tablets, livestock, and other durables in the last 12 months.

- The independent variable of interest is the TOT treatment indicator, which is the predicted value from a first-stage regression of treatment implementation on treatment assignment.

- Monetary values are in USD PPP and are winsorized at the top 1% of values in order to limit the influence of outliers; durables are winsorized at the top 10% as pre-specified.

- The regressions also have assessment month-by-year fixed effects, enumerator fixed effects, community-level controls (Irbid/Mafraq governorate and population quartile), and household-level controls (vulnerability-assessment quartile, shelter program, baseline number of children, baseline number of children plus adults, respondent gender, and respondent age). In the parentheses are robust standard errors clustered at the locality level. Regressions are weighted by the number of people interviewed in each household. Statistical significance represented by * (10%), ** (5%), and *** (1%). Q-values are calculated per Anderson (2008) and correspond to Family 3 in the preanalysis plan.
