Jordan: Aligned national action plan (NAP) to combat desertification 2015-2020
The aligned National Action Plan (NAP) to Combat Desertification in Jordan 2015-2020 consists of a vision, logical framework, monitoring program on desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD) and sustainable land management (SLM), and an integrated financial plan. The agreed vision of the aligned NAP is “Productive and sustainable use and management of land resources to support poverty reduction, environmental sustainability and national economy”. This vision focuses on sustainability of land resources, enhancement of population livelihood, and contribution to the national economy. The realization of this vision could be achieved by focusing on several themes.
A logical framework has been prepared for expected outcomes under each of the Operational Objectives outlining the indicators, responsible parties and assumptions. The outcomes include communication and outreach strategy, policy coherence regarding addressing DLDD issues, DLDD platform for knowledge sharing, a national monitoring program on DLDD and SLM, and updating and fulfilling capacity needs for proper implementation of DLDD activities.
