This assignment is part of the Adaptation Fund (AF) sponsored project titled “Increasing the resilience of both displaced persons (DPs) and host communities to climate change-related water challenges in Jordan and Lebanon” which aims to support the development of a comprehensive response framework to climate change combined with the Syrian crisis, especially in an urban context. The project’s main aim is achieved through identifying effective approaches and best practices to build urban resilience, focused on actions that address water challenges and that benefit both DPs and host communities especially women and youth.
The framework is not only developed for the project’s target areas but also for areas with similar contexts. The project will focus on supporting a sustainable water management approach, by reducing water use from unsustainable sources by means of reducing water losses and increasing water use efficiency and by increasing the water supply of sustainable sources via supporting water harvesting and promoting the use of non-conventional sustainable water resources. The approach also includes promoting innovative, low cost and sustainable techniques (more information on these techniques is available upon request and is included in the full/final proposal) and establishing urban-rural linkages as water challenges also impact agriculture and livelihood security.
