The overarching goal of REGEP-UP is to reduce rural poverty and nutrition insecurity, while simultaneously increasing household resilience to the intertwined economic and climate-related challenges prevalent in Jordan’s water-scarce context. The programme’s development objective is to improve the productivity and incomes of poor smallholders and to generate sustainable employment. This will be achieved through tailored support to various actors within selected value chains, including rural Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSMEs), thereby strengthening their integration into competitive and resilient agri-food systems.
REGEP-UP has three components:
Component1: Resilient and Inclusive Value Chain Development. It aims to ensure the adoption of sustainable and climate-adaptive practices, inputs, and technologies.
Component2: Inclusive Rural Finance. It aims to improve access to finance for MSMEs, strengthen the technical capacity of Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs), and enhance financial literacy among rural populations.
Component3: Policy Support and Programme Management. This component concentrates on engaging with policy development, generating and managing knowledge, and ensuring the overall effective coordination and management of the programme.
