Along with other donors, Canada’s contribution offsets the additional costs of providing health services to Syrians through Jordan’s public health system. Project activities include: (1) providing primary and secondary health care services in Ministry of Health facilities; and (2) procuring medicines, medical solutions, consumables, and supplies.

This project aims to help protect and enhance the resilience of climate-vulnerable ecosystems and increase the size of restored forest ecosystems in southern Jordan. It also aims to increase the participation of women, youth, and marginalized groups in decision-making processes so they can benefit from the implementation of nature-based solutions in the region. The project also seeks to pilot interventions designed to increase restored forests areas (by an estimated 750 hectares). This would increase the percentage of women, youth and marginalized groups engaged in and benefitting from improved productivity of the ecosystems in Southern Jordan’s Shoubak and Petra districts. This project contributes to strengthening climate action by promoting gender equality and helping to protect and promote the human rights of vulnerable and marginalized groups.
