Jordan and Armenia have considerable potential to develop their tourist industries – and face considerable challenges to develop it. The idea behind this project is to work with local networks to develop models for sustainable tourism, especially in smaller more marginalized regions. Indeed such is the priority ascribed to working with these networks that the project is categorized as a good governance project, whose focus will “not be on what they are doing, but how they are doing it”. |

The operational capacity of local authorities as well as the physical conditions within small local communities, both in Lebanon and Jordan, needs to be enhanced. They lack both funding and skills. But these can be addressed by helping them build networks that bring together the administration, the private sector, and civil society in a collaboration that benefits everyone. |

Traffic congestion and pollution are a huge problem in the cities of Aleppo, Amman, and Irbid. In all three cities there is a need for long term solutions, as well as quick fixes. One priority is to introduce public transport systems to relieve growing congestion. These will need to be both well-organised and environmentally friendly. The informal public transport systems (taxis and mini buses) do little to ease congestion and cause a number of negative side effects. Only well thought out environmentally friendly systems, based on rational modeling, realistic financial schemes and established environmental risk mitigation measures can overcome the problem. |
