Grant Description

The Forest Service has been providing support to USAID/Jordan's economic growth portfolio.

Jordan's Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature has received signficant funding support from USAID/Jordan, and the Forest Service has complemented that investment by providing technical assistance to the RSCN on issues related to eco-tourism and protected area management.

In conjunction with that technical assistance, the USFS and USAID also funded two individuals from the RSCN to attend US based international seminars on related issues.
