About

Through this internship program, you will learn about development and environmental challenges in Jordan and contribute to the design of projects that support local communities. In recent years, Jordan has made great strides in sustainability and environmental protection and has enacted important democratic and economic reforms. The country is also developing innovative approaches to sustainable practices in water scarcity; organic farming; food security; and sustainable energy production. Despite these developments, Jordan still faces challenges related to a lack of natural resources, climate change, and environmental conservation efforts, as well as a growing population, including many refugees.
