Ajlun Tourism Master Plan

This project funded by the World Bank through the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities was awarded after an international competitive selection process. JRF joined an international and national consortium of private sector entities to develop a master plan that will address key environmental and urban development issues of the area. This project will also formulate a vision and public investment program for sustainable develop-ment and tourism promotion in Ajlun city, Ajlun castle, Anjara and the surrounding area.
The consortium will work to: identify protected zones; define zones with tourism potential to be promoted for investment in recreational and eco-tourism infrastructure; update and improve zoning plans for urban settlements; as well as identify opportunities for the economic rejuvenation of urban areas.
As a consultant to this project JRF will provide administrative support and advise on social interventions, a baseline survey and income-generating activities.
Additionally, JRF will serve as a liaison between local government branches and the consortium. JRF will be responsible for socio-economic interventions through the mobilization of community stakeholders in order to ensure that the master plan addresses the needs and priorities of the community.
