GrowEconomy: Promote sustainable, inclusive and decent economic opportunities for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians in the agriculture sector

With support of the Agence Française de Développement, Acted in partnership with Action Against Hunger, Terre des hommes, Phenix Centre for Sustainable Development, ECO Consult, and The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, and in coordination with the National Agricultural Research Center, are contributing to enhance the economic empowerment and labour rights of vulnerable Jordanians, Syrian refugees, and children, particularly within the agriculture sector in Jordan. The 36-month project aims to improve the livelihoods and resilience of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians working in the agriculture sector through improving working conditions and fostering increase and diversification of income sources.

This will be achieved by:
1) Improving climate-adaptative approaches, productivity and diversifying income sources through both agricultural and non-agricultural revenues, of 600 vulnerable small farming households, for stable and regular income throughout the year, and therefore resilient to unexpected shocks.
2) Improving employability and access to year-round income of 1,500 agricultural labourers (at least 600 women); and
3) Promoting decent working conditions and labour rights in the agricultural sector, particularly for refugees, informal workers, women and children, reaching 1,640 individuals.
