The inception workshop presenting the findings of Component 1 was held in Amman and included representatives of various departments of the Jordan Valley Authority (JVA) involved in the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of the Canal, as well as representatives of KfW and other internationally funded projects targeting Canal improvements. The inception workshop presenting the findings of Component 2 was held near the Dead Sea and included representatives of the JVA, Water User Associations (WUA) and farmers.
Both workshops were chaired by Her Excellency Eng. Manar Al-Mahasneh, the Secretary General of JVA, who in her welcome speeches confirmed that Jordan is greatly impacted by climate change and acknowledged the need for climate change adaptation measures in the agricultural sector to maintain food security.
