vision, co-ordination, complementarities and synergy
among existing organisations, missions and activities in
this field are indispensable. The project established
fruitful partnerships with other institutions and
missions working in the Jordan Valley in related

technical experiences and support to farmers
associations (e.g. the distribution of vertical sand
filter prototypes designed by the
