Middle East Water Security Initiative - BAA Activity 2 The Acceleration of Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) activity improves water security in the Middle East through the application and dissemination of new methods for mapping and identifying high potential ASR sites using remote sensing, geospatial data, and hydrologic analysis. The activity will not construct new ASR infrastructure, but rather will apply new site selection methods over wide areas to substantially reduce the cost of identifying and characterizing sites. This will benefit both host government and development partner agencies to support cost-effective solutions to capture large amounts of water that would otherwise be lost through runoff for both drinking water and other economic (industrial and agricultural) activities. The target study area will include watershed regions across Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank.
Expanding Farm Advisory Services (formerly Farmer Innovations GDA) "Expanding Farm Advisory Services" is a sub-award under a Global Development Alliance (GDA) in partnership with the Skoll Foundation. The local partner, Proximity Designs, will scale up its proven model for delivering farm advisory services to 28 townships over the next three years, reaching an estimated 250,000 farmers with increased incomes by $50 to $200 per farm household..The activity will reach townships in the Ayeyarwady and the Dry Zone, where 85 percent of farmers are located and will focus on the rice value chain. Assistance will be used to develop new products and services such as farm business management, and weather and market information. User-centered research will be conducted to apply innovative approaches to products, services and digital offerings, creating more opportunities to grow farm enterprises. To achieve scale, the activity will move to a new multi-channel platform using mobile technology, agro-dealers, lead farmers, video, and radio.
MENA Regional Drought Management System II (USAID Middle East Regional (MER)):  MENA countries are experiencing growing water security challenges.  These challenges are exacerbated by climate change characterized by higher temperatures, increased evapotranspiration rates, and changes in precipitation patterns exemplified as intense droughts and floods. Droughts affect all water users, with the most critical actions demanding a focus on maintaining drinking water supplies for the populace. WASH is always the number one priority for any water that is available.  ..Since droughts affect water availability and quality, the absence of fully functioning, integrated drought management systems hinders the capacity to predict, plan, and proactively manage droughts in a way that supports continuation of WASH services.  In response, MENADrought works with a range of agencies and government departments in Jordan, Lebanon, and Morocco, including those tasked with the provision of water supply and sanitation services during drought conditions.  Realizing the direct correlation between drought management and water security, MENADrought enhances drought monitoring and seasonal forecasting capabilities; conducts drought impact and vulnerability mapping; and advances national and regional efforts to operationalize effective drought policy and preparedness planning.  These efforts collectively empower decision-makers to plan for and manage the impacts of droughts on water and food security and accelerate the development of drought-related decrees and strategies fostering adoption of a robust integrated water management approach in the targeted countries. Given that droughts amplify inequalities in access to water services, MENADrought also aims to reduce the negative impact droughts have on vulnerable communities through developing appropriate resilience and climate adaptation measures to support water and agricultural security in these communities. $500,000 in funding goes towards the Water earmark.
Testing the Effectiveness of Tailored NFE Interventions Promoting Critical Thinking and Emotional Literacy in the Middle East The broad objectives of Testing the Effectiveness of Tailored NFE Interventions Promoting Critical Thinking and Emotional Literacy in the Middle East are first to evaluate the barriers that have limited the success of non-formal education (NFE) across the Middle East and North Africa, particularly as applies to critical thinking and emotional literacy, by jointly developing a battery of questions to be included on nationally representative public opinion surveys. Secondly, it plans to use this information to design interventions on critical thinking and emotional literacy that are tailored to specific regions and conditions, and to test the effectiveness of these interventions. The hypothesis being tested is that interventions that have taken local knowledge and attitudes into consideration in their design will be more successful than standard interventions. The goal is to be able to design specific interventions that are tailored to specific countries and, as possible, sub-regions of countries. The program will test the effectiveness for direct interventions in Jordan and Lebanon that could be scaled to other parts of the region, including Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, the West Bank and Gaza, Algeria, and Tunisia in the future.
Harnessing Youth Leadership and Improving Education Outcomes in the Middle East (USAID Middle East Regional (MER)):  The Harnessing Youth Leadership to Improve Education Outcomes Activity is a $1.4 million program implemented by Teach for All (TFALL) to channel youth leadership towards strengthening and promoting education for children in the Middle East region. Teach for All will work with university graduates to provide opportunities for them to support classroom-based and non-formal learning, such as providing remedial support. The organization will also help to launch and grow locally- rooted, national organizations that enlist their nation's most promising young leaders to commit to a foundational and skill-building experience of two years of classroom teaching that will increase student access to learning opportunities. These newly launched organizations will work in partnership with local communities and government officials to foster sustainable changes to the education systems. More specifically, USAID assistance will continue to support Teach for Morocco and expand Teach for Lebanon's (TFL) efforts to reach high-need students (including refugees), improve capacity to measure results, and function as a lighthouse organization demonstrating the potential of TFALL's approach to others in the region. In addition, TFALL will support prospective partners in the Middle East to launch new network programs in Libya and Tunisia. This mechanism will program $54,076 towards the Basic Education earmark and $30,000 towards girls in conflict.
Middle East Regional Cooperation (MERC) Program The Middle East Regional Cooperation (MERC) Program was established in 1981 to facilitate research collaboration between Egyptian and Israeli scientists after their two countries signed the Camp David Accords.
