The Project’s theory of change states that “if barriers to the adoption of water-saving technologies are systematically broken down at multiple levels, with Queen Rania Pond – Ajloun. different groups of water users and market actors through enhancing knowledge, forming partnerships and providing advisory services, in addition to improving access to finance and strengthening institutions that support water-saving, then adoption of water-saving technologies by farmers, households and communities will increase leading to sustainable management of water and natural resources”. The project goal is to save 18.5 MCM of water by addressing market system constraints in the adoption of innovative water-saving technologies in agriculture and household sectors. WIT works to facilitate the uptake of advisory and financing services and uses an integrated strategy with a social and behavioral change approach to help a variety of water sector market actors overcome key barriers and constraints at individual and institutional levels.

  • Turkey Is a Vast and Varied Country Boasting Incredible Landscapes and Natural Wonders Bordered by Four Different Seas
    Turkey Turkey is a vast and varied country boasting incredible landscapes and natural wonders bordered by four different seas. Well known as a great destination for relaxing beach holidays, it also offers many sporting activities, some of the world’s most important ancient monuments, welcoming Turkish hospitality and varied national cuisine. Istanbul is also gearing up to be European Capital of Culture 2010 .so; it has never been a better time to visit this magical city! Dakkak Holiday as a dominant out going tour operator in Jordan and a division of the tourism comprehensive destination management company Dakkak Group; witnesses a distinguished traffic of Jordanians who make tracks to this beautiful destination in summer mostly and the rest seasons of the year generally. Various suggested packages and lots of tailor made plans are designed every season to Istanbul, Bodrum, Antalya , Marmaris and else. Turkish coffee or Turk kahvesi is the perfect way to finish off a good meal. When ordering you specify whether you want it sade (plain), orta (with some sugar) or sekerli (very sweet) and it is brewed with the specified amount of sugar mixed in with the coffee granules. It is served in small cups. It is quite an art to know-when to stop drinking as one sip too many and you will end up with a mouthful of the sludgy residue which falls to the bottom of the cup. Even this has its uses, however, as you may find a local willing to tell your fortune from it - cover your cup with the saucer, wait until it becomes cold when you will be asked to turn it upside down, turn it around several times and then your destiny will be divined from the shapes which are formed.

Since the armed conflict in Syria in 2011 the influx of Syrian refugees has further deteriorated the condition of water supply services in Jordan and particularly in the northern governorates which already suffers from limited water resources, small amount of per capita water supply, high NRW, etc. 2. This Study is undertaken to formulate a master plan for water supply in order to identify the required improvements and priority to mitigate the poor water supply services in the Study Area (Irbid and Ramtha and its suburbs, refer to Figures 1.1 to 1.3 for locations), where the Syrian refugees are largely settled in the largest urban area in the northern governorates.

The Evolution of Upgrading Policies in Amman Myriam Ababsa Institut français du Proche-Orient, IFPO, Amman. Abstract While the Municipality of Amman celebrates its centennial in 2009, highlighting the diversity of its population made up of migrants from across the Bilad al Sham, as well as its modernity, symbolized by the successive development projects (the business district of Shmeissani in the 1980s and the new Abdali downtown planned for 2011), it is clear that social disparities within the city continue to grow stronger between West Amman and East Amman. These disparities tie in with morphological differences between informal housing communities developed near the Palestinian camps of Wahdat and Jabal Hussein, with their self-built buildings; and West Amman neighbourhoods with family- owned four storey buildings, interspersed with villas and office blocks.
