Based on the efforts undertaken by the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) to strengthen partnerships with internal and external parties concerned with supporting all vital sectors in Jordan, MOPIC is supporting and adopting the “Climate Change Adaptation Program”, through which the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan obtained a grant of 9.226 million US dollars from the Adaptation Fund for the programme:
“Increasing the resilience of poor and vulnerable communities to climate change impacts in Jordan through implementing innovative projects in water and agriculture in support of adaptation to climate change”.
The program grant agreement was signed in June 2015 between the Adaptation Fund Board (AF) and MOPIC as the owner and supervisor of the implementation of the program as an Implementing Entity (IE). The programme kicked off in July 2016. Many ministries and government institutions are also implementing the projects and activities of the program as Executing Entities (EEs) for the sub‑projects:
Petra Development Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA), The Hashemite Fund for Development of Jordan Badia (HFDJB), Jordan Valley Authority (JVA), Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ), National Center for Agricultural Research (NARC), and the Ministry of Environment (MoE) / the Royal Scientific Society (RSS). In addition, MOPIC cooperates with national institutions dealing with climate change adaptation, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Jordan Meteorological Department, and local community associations (e.g. Water Users Associations in the Jordan Valley).
The overall objective of the programme is to adapt the agricultural sector in Jordan to climate change‑induced water shortages and stresses on food security through piloting innovative technology transfer, policy support linked to community livelihoods and resilience.
The Project Management Unit (PMU) was hosted in MOPIC, which consists of a Program Manager, Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, Financial Specialist, and Administrative Assistant, to follow up EEs activities for sub‑projects within the program, prepare periodic and annual reports for the AF regarding the performance and achievements of the activities in the program, and coordinate communication with the EEs.
The programme consists of two main components, each comprising a set of projects and activities implemented in partnership with national entities, with the aim of enhancing the resilience of poor and vulnerable communities to climate change impacts and strengthening water and food security in the target areas.
