Background:
Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.
Under the funding of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mercy Corps in partnership with Agriterra, Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and Advance Consulting is implementing a three-and-a half year, €7.4 million program. The program aims to improve the income opportunities and longer-term resilience of smallholder farmers in Balqa, Irbid, and Ajloun in Jordan with a series of complementary interventions to strengthen the broader horticulture sector. Building off ongoing efforts supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other stakeholders, the program will conduct activities on three levels:
The program targets three main outcomes:
Smallholder farmers have adopted improved agricultural practices;
Horticulture value chain for Smallholder Farmers operating at scale, efficient and inclusive;
Improved ecosystem to support and strengthen smallholder farmers.
The project just completed an eight-month inception phase that resulted in the submission of a final and updated proposal, Performance Management Plan, and budget. During the inception phase, consortium members identified several challenges working effectively and efficiently. Many of these challenges may lead to poor outcomes as the project starts the implementation of its activities. To address these issues, the consortium will conduct a three-day workshop to improve team cohesion and understanding as well as solidify project guiding principles and documents. The workshop is scheduled for October 11- 13, 2021 in Amman. All partner organizations will have representatives physically present and the representatives will be part of the Project Management Committee, a project management level group that will oversee the day to day implementation of project activities.
