Jordan programs / Jordan project 278-0266 · 1987–1995 · First Washington Associates, Ltd. (FWA)
Since 1962 the equivalent of $773 million has been invested - 45% of it by A.I.D. - in the integrated rural development of the Jordan Valley. This paper measures the agricultural and socioeconomic impact of these efforts. An overview of agricultural production rates and trends is presented, followed by an analysis of marketing constraints and resource efficiency. The paper then evaluates various institutions and services, including: (1) regional department planning, (2) agricultural research and extension, (3) education, (4) health care, (5) agricultural credit and input supply, (6) irrigation systems, and (7) pest control. Social indicators are assessed, such as population, migration, employment, income distribution, literacy, per capita income, contraceptive use, and housing conditions. Individual attitudes and expectations are presented through case studies. Finally, the paper describes specific project activities in the land and water, public utilities, and transport sectors, as well as in institution building, followed by a summary of external financial assistance. The paper concludes that the agricultural and quality of life improvements in the Jordan Valley may be unparallel
