Jordan: Water ministry secures €10.3 million from German bilateral cooperation

The Ministry of Water and Irrigation from Jordan signed three agreements for a total of 10.34 million euros to finance water feasibility studies and develop agricultural enterprises in the Jordan Valley. The agreements were signed by Minister Muhammad Najjar and Deputy Director at the German Development Bank (KfW) Sawsan Aruri. Najjar said the finance which is provided as a grant from the German government will be channeled to develop water resources and address climate change effects. He added that the government will seek additional finance for water projects and will join hands with donors and funding parties to upgrade water supply and resources which have come under pressure due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Syrian refugee crisis.
