Description
ll objective of the Action is to improve the protection and promotion of cultural and archaeological sites in Jordan. The specific objectives are the following: 1. To increase access to cultural and archaeological sites in Jordan; 2. To increase local community awareness about the importance of preserving archaeological sites as a source of economic empowerment and intercultural dialogue, and; 3. To promote the selected archaeological sites as tourist attractions in Jordan. The Action is aimed at rehabilitating, protecting and promoting the historical sites of Mukawir and Abila, in line with the strategic approach of supporting the economic and social development of the country through the enhancement of Jordan archaeological treasures. It also responds to the strongly felt need of providing a source of resilience to the Jordanian population and refugees in the face of the Syria crisis and the impact of the covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the Action will substantially contribute to the preservation of the sites ensuring the continuation of tourism activities and, thus, rebooting Jordan's economy at large. Social cohesion will also be promoted, advocating for income opportunities for both locals and refugees’ communities. This action will also substantially contribute to a change in the living conditions and improved self-reliance of local communities and provide access to immediate employment opportunities in the cultural heritage sector to young women and men (including refugees).
