Environmental policy and administrative management

The project is part of a 3-project cluster that will be implemented by community organizations in 3 neighbouring villages in Karak governorates, south of the Kingdom. The projects aims at assisting local communities in the concerned areas to adapt to impacts of climate change including draught and subsequent land degradation, through improving community management of natural resources including water and soil in a way that contributes to sustaining those resources and improves the living conditions of those local communities. Activities to be supported by the projects include water harvesting through establishment of water storage reservoirs and rain-collection cisterns in addition to soil conservation measures and income generating activities such as bee-keeping, home gardens and medicinal plants.
