In 2018, the USAID Monitoring and Evaluation Support Project (MESP) conducted a nationally representative survey in Jordan. Sample size for the survey was 11.963. The survey was designed to support USAID/Jordan learning and decision making by providing a better understanding of the broader context in which projects and activities are implemented, explore determinants of performance indicator performance, and to provide implementing partners data useful for their activity planning and implementation. The survey provides critical data on key international economic and social development indicators, and data relevant to USAID program performance indicators and learning agenda questions.
The survey was implemented by MESP’s local partner Mindset between June and September 2018. In total, the team completed 11,963 valid interviews achieving a 95% confidence level and a +/-5 margin of error overall. The survey produced an overall response rate of 76%, which is significantly higher than the global average for surveys.

The original sample size of the survey was 12,000 interviews distributed across the 12 governorates in the Kingdom. A team of 100 enumerators and 25 supervisors collected data for the survey. In total, the survey had a response rate of 76%, which is significantly higher than the global average for surveys. The average interview duration was 35 minutes. The sample was proportionally divided to reflect the population of each governorate. Sample weights were also developed to make the data representative of the population in Jordan.
Preparation for the survey began in February 2018 and fieldwork started on June 26, 2018 and was completed on September 16, 2018.
