Al Zohour Green Triangle Factsheet - Strengthening the Social Stability and Resilience of Vulnerable Jordanian Communities and Syrian Refugees in Amman Against Flash Floods Factsheet

Flash floods have become a serious problem in Jordan due to rapid unplanned urbanization, the insufficient capacity of drainage systems, and climate change ramifications. In response to the significant risk of flash floods in Amman, UN-Habitat Jordan has implemented the project “Strengthening the Social Stability and Resilience of Vulnerable Jordanian Communities and Syrian Refugees in Amman against Flash Floods”. The project, funded by the Government of Japan with a total budget of $978,000 and implemented in close collaboration with the Greater Amman Municipality, aimed to strengthen government and community’s resilience and capacities to better manage flash floods.
