Jahez

Through the Jahez project, which means ‘ready’ in Arabic, IWMI will build ‘climate-ready’ refugee hosting communities in Jordan.

This project has the objective of building climate resilience in refugee-hosting communities and along the humanitarian-development spectrum, through scalable interventions that integrate localized impact-based weather and climate information systems with community-based disaster-risk reduction and nature-based solutions, leveraging climate finance and other funding mechanisms. As a cornerstone of the Jahez project, IWMI and its partners will develop innovative, practical pilot projects in refugee-hosting communities in Jordan that prove the concept and demonstrate the effectiveness of a holistic approach to resilience.
