dc.descriptionJordan faces severe water scarcity, with renewable water resources far below global thresholds, exacerbated by population growth, refugee influx and economic development. This scarcity is compounded by land degradation and climate change, which is expected to worsen conditions through higher temperatures, reduced rainfall, and increased droughts. The agriculture sector is particularly vulnerable, with shifts in temperature and precipitation threatening crop reliability, productivity and income. The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) launched the REGEP project to address these challenges, focusing on creating employment for youth and women, enhancing climate change adaptation and improving horticultural skills in five governorates: Ajloun, Jerash, Balqa, Madaba, and Mafraq. The project also supported savings and small-scale enterprises through Savings and Credit Groups and facilitated access to rural credit by involving commercial banks in agricultural lending. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) was designed to contribute to the REGEP by integrating a climate adaptation and resilience component, under which beneficiaries engaged in agricultural activities on climate-smart practices to improve their income while contributing to environmental sustainability and identifying export-oriented value chains with an acceptable water footprint.
