comments:

Under a complementary project, an Implementation Agreement was signed with the Jordan Agricultural Engineers Association. The nature of the IA focuses on skills developing training for low skilled agriculture workers, however, the relationship can be built to routinely share information and technical knowledge on water-harvesting activities. In order to integrate technical knowledge on reforestation, partnership with Jordan agriculture Engineers association is discussed to establish skills sector counsel in agriculture

action_plan:

1. Identify national partners with knowledge of reforestation 2. Facilitate dialogue between identified partners, MOA, MOL and JAEA to exchange knowledge on reforestation and water-harvesting, with an aim to increase productivity of both outcomes 3. Conduct an impact assessment at the end of phase II to document the productivity impacts on farms that constructed water harvesting systems.

title:

Formulate EIIP and Decent Work approaches as strategic innovations that can impact on the agriculture sector at a national level. Jordan as a nation faces existing problems of a denuded landscape, water deficits acerbated by climate change and weak economy and labor markets. The project has shown that its working approaches, the use of EIIP and Decent Work has the potential to address these effectively. The ILO then should work in two directions. Use the pending Phase II to produce enhanced outcomes8, through applying the lessons of the current project more effectively and documenting this more rigorous and articulate manner. This can then be used to demonstrate the efficacy of these approaches in impacting on the Jordanian issues above. Explore mechanisms and partners that ILO could operate with in national level initiatives to both leverage funding for these (given more effective approaches are now demonstrated), and to add to or cooperate with existing or pending initiatives.
