The project aims at protecting Biodiversity in Al Wahadneh area through promotion of sound natural resource management practices mainly related to agricultural practices. This will be partly achieved through establishing a revolving loan fund that helps women from the local community to implement small income-generating activities such as bee keeping, kitchen and medical herb planting and packaging and food processing. A comprehensive training and public awareness component which aims at improving local community knowledge of proper measures to address environmental problems in a sustainable manner will also be conducted. Al Wahadneh Community Development Center is one of many Community Development Centers operating under the umbrella of the Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development (JOHUD), which focuses on integrated development activities in the different areas of the Kingdom.
