Capacity Building Workshop in Jordan within the Migratory Soaring Birds Project

A capacity development workshop was organized in Jordan from 18-21 August 2013.The workshop included representatives from BirdLife partners from different countries along the rift valley flyway such as: Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Yemen, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Sudan.

The purpose of the workshop is to help project partners apprehend the relevance of capacity development to the Migratory Soaring Birds (MSB) project and to assess their own structure and management schemes, so that they can participate in the second phase of the MSB project. In addition, it aimed to help the organizations achieve the necessary level through training, discussion and resources. The participants shared their concerns and their success stories, and exchanged experiences especially on the issues that need to be worked on. The organizations will work on enhancing their management procedures based on the trigger assessment criteria and based on a set work plan.

This edition of Al Hima magazine weaves together inspiring stories of nature conservation and community resilience, highlighting how Lebanon is being stitched back to life—one Hima at a time. The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL) continues its mission to preserve the country’s natural heritage by empowering local communities. A cornerstone of this effort is the BioConnect project, funded by the European Union, which has achieved three national firsts: Lebanon’s first natural park (Upper Matn), first geological park (Shouf-Jezzine), and first endowment Hima (Btekhnay).
