UNDP-JOR-00678 - Landscape Investment Resilience Plan (LRIP) for the Dead Sea Basin - UNDP - JORDAN

Tender summary

Introduction The "Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan through improving water use efficiency in the agriculture sector (BRCCJ)" project aims to address the challenges posed by water scarcity, rapid population growth, and climate change impacts in Jordan. The project is set to unfold within carefully selected Governorates situated within the Dead Sea Basin, specifically targeting regions most susceptible to the adverse impacts of climate change. The project will take root in four key Governorates: Madaba, Karak, Tafilah, and Ma'an. The selection of these Governorates followed a comprehensive consultation process, guided by the imminent challenges posed by climate change and its associated vulnerabilities. Factors considered included the prevalence of poverty-stricken areas, the potential for site-specific Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) measures, and synergy with other ongoing projects, such as the Adaptation Fund in the Jordan River Valley. Collectively, these Governorates are home to 152,000 households, accommodating a total population of 840,900 people, and encompassing an expansive land area spanning 9,839 square kilometres, constituting a significant 72% of the entire Dead Sea Basin Area. The overarching objective of this seven-year initiative is to foster increased climate-resilient sustainable development across the country. This project aligns with the objectives outlined in Jordan's climate change policy for 2013-2020 and the National Adaptation Plan for 2020. It seeks to enhance the resilience of both water management systems and the farming community to climate change. The project consists of three interconnected components designed to address critical barriers and amplify the impact of project investments. These components target deficiencies in infrastructure, the limited capacity of rural farming households, and weak institutional capabilities: I. Component 1: Climate-Resilient Water Systems for Enhanced Water Security II. Component 2: Climate Change Resilience for Enhanced Livelihoods and Food Security III. Component 3: Scaling-up Climate Adaptation into Policy and Across Stakeholders (including institutions, the private sector, and civil society). The project is being executed collaboratively by FAO, UNDP, the Ministry of Environment (MoE), the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI), reflecting a robust collaborative and partnership approach throughout implementation. Leveraging the extensive experience and convening power of FAO and UNDP in the country, the project capitalizes on their established presence. UNDP's prior work on climate change and drought management projects in Jordan further underscores its valued partnership. A detailed Climate Risk Assessment (CRA), conducted in 2023–2024 for Al Karak, Madaba, Ma’an and Tafileh governorates, has produced hazard-specific vulnerability indices and GIS-based hotspot maps. These outputs highlight high-risk areas such as the Dieban aquifer recharge zone, Ein Sarah’s flood-biodiversity corridor, and slope instability zones in Bsaira and Karak. The CRA revealed gaps in adaptive capacity including poor access to early warning systems, high non-revenue water losses, lack of CBO engagement in water saving, and limited institutional coordination.
