  • Regional Project/Programme Proposal
    REGIONAL PROJECT/PROGRAMME PROPOSAL PART I: PROJECT/PROGRAMME INFORMATION Title of Project/Programme: Increasing the resilience of both displaced persons and host communities to climate change-related water challenges in Jordan and Lebanon Countries: Jordan, Lebanon Thematic Focal Area: Transboundary water management and food security Type of Implementing Entity: Multilateral Implementing Entity: United Nations Human Settlements Programme Executing Entities: Lebanon: Ministry of Environment; Ministry of Energy and Water; Line departments in municipalities; UNICEF and NGO partners Jordan: Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Water and Irrigation;; Line departments in municipalities; UNICEF and NGO partners Amount of Financing Requested: USD 14 million Project Background and Context Introduction to the problems and needs There is little exploration of how urban systems respond to the impacts of climate change combined with a rapid influx of new and often long-term residents. Considering the scale and nature of impacts of climate change and the Syrian crisis in the Mashreq region, a comprehensive and regional response framework is needed, including the identification of effective approaches and best practices.1 The Mashreq region is part of the most water scarce regions in the world and both urban and rural areas face water challenges. However, some urban areas, especially in Lebanon and Jordan, experience extreme pressure on water availability, both in quanitity and quality, exacerbated by both climate change and the unprecedented influx of Displaced Persons (DPs), especially from Syria.2 The aim of this project is to support the development of a comprehensive regional response framework, especially in an urban context. This is done by identifying effective approaches and best practices to build urban resilience, focused on actions that address water challenges that benefit both DPs and host communities, and especially women and youth.
