Environmental policy and administrative management

The Rural Women Development Society has been implementing a project in Deir Yousef/ Irbid governorate involving women in natural resource management through supporting income-generating activities that improve local community livelihood including promotion of traditional home gardens and domestic water harvesting techniques. The Improved Livelihoods and Land Degradation Control in Deir Yousef project will build on the efforts made so far by the community and increase the beneficiary base to include more community members specially women. The project will also conduct public awareness activities that strengthens the community s appreciation of the importance of conserving natural resources for sustaining community development.
