Japan will provide an additional grant of $21,616,344 to Jordan under an agreement signed by the Planning and International Cooperation Ministry and the Japanese government.
The grant from the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will be administered by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) to support the second phase of an “urgent programme” to improve the efficiency of the water sector in the northern governorates hosting Syrian refugees, benefiting 20,000 citizens in the targeted areas, a statement by the Planning Ministry announced.
Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Imad Fakhoury, Ambassador of Japan to Jordan Shuichi Sakurai, Director and Representative of the UNOPS Operational Hub in Amman Bana Kaloti and Chief Representative of the JICA Office in Amman Tsutoma Kobayashi signed the grant agreement.
Fakhoury said that the grant is a response from the Japanese government to the request made to support Jordan in alleviating the burdens of hosting 1.3 million Syrian refugees as part of the Jordanian Response Plan to the Syrian crisis.
