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.
