Jordan: Food for Progress Program with Jordan Update
The Food for Progress Program with Jordan has funded the construction of the al-Karak Dam in the al-Karak Governorate, 150 kilometers south of Amman. The project has been funded using $10.4 million of monetized funds (from donated U.S.-origin hard red wheat) and an additional $4 million from the Government of Jordan. The dam construction was completed in late September 2017. The dam will assist over 25,000 beneficiaries in the Karak Valley in irrigating agricultural lands.
