The Environment Protection Fund has approved financing for a package of environmental and development projects covering sustainable agriculture, nature reserve rehabilitation, water harvesting, recycling and green spaces, as part of efforts to expand investment in environmental sustainability and community development.
The approvals were issued by the Fund's Board of Directors during a meeting at the Ministry of Environment chaired by Minister Ayman Suleiman.
The new funding package targets projects designed to empower youth and women in rural communities, strengthen food security, support environmentally sustainable production, conserve ecosystems, expand water harvesting and increase green spaces.
Several community organizations will receive support under the program. Projects include the Petra Springs Environmental Society's 'Petra Biscuit House,' a water harvesting and home garden initiative by Basmat Al-Khair Women's Cooperative Society, the 'Map and Fabric' project by Himmet Nisaa Al-Balqa Charity Society, and a Jordan Environment Society initiative aimed at strengthening rural community participation in environmental justice.
Funding was also approved for Ayadi Al-Badia Agricultural Cooperative Society to develop a project for drying fruit and vegetables using renewable energy.
