This support programme falls under the framework of the national project “Enhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of host communities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development”, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, the World Food Program (WFP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

The grants will support: agricultural land reclamation, construction of concrete or earth water reservoirs, in addition to other complementary works such as retaining walls, modern irrigation systems, fences, planting of fruit tree seedlings, and vineyard trellises. The grant will cover part of the total costs of the related investments.

Those interested in submitting applications to receive this financial support should fill out a “livelihood assessment form”. Based on this form, the most vulnerable 500 beneficiaries will be selected from all the applicants that fulfilled the Green Plan’s administrative and technical requirements. The selection will be based on multiple criteria such as household income, land surface area, age, gender, etc.
