Descripción
The FAO Representation Office was established in Jordan for the first time in May 2002. This report will represent an overview of FAO major achievements through activities and projects implemented in Jordan after the establishment of the representation Office. FAO assistance contributed substantially to building the capacity of Jordan in the field of water and arable land use. FAO assisted Jordan to formulate its “National Drought Mitigation Strategy” (TCP/JOR/3001(A)-USD 229,000). Through this project national consultants prepared background papers and an international consultant provided training on water harvesting techniques. FAO organized national workshop on “Policies and Programmes to improve Food Security in Drought affected areas”. In addition to the draft National Drought Mitigation Strategy, preparatory work was initiated to establish Drought Early Warning Unit in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP). FAO is assisting Jordan through the on-going TCP project TCP/ INT/3301 “ Support to policy consultation and actions to boost sustainable use of water and energy resources for agricultural production and livelihood improvement in the Near East and North Africa Region in the context of climate change” (Budget of USD 436,000).
