Regional Highlights
Water for Jordan
USAID funded key improvements to the Zara Ma’in Water Treatment plant, which brings drinking water to 1.7 million in Amman, more than 40% of the city’s population.
Seeds for Syria
USAID donated 3,000 metric tons of wheat seed to northeast Syria in 2021, yielding approximately 35,000 tons of wheat in the 2022 harvest. The 10-fold harvest from this $1.5 million donation could have cost more than $25 million to import as humanitarian food aid.
Education in Morocco
USAID Morocco’s National Program on Reading pilot was so successful at improving early grade reading skills in Arabic that the Ministry of Education scaled the program nationwide, reaching 4.4 million primary grade students.
Libya Power Grid Reunification
USAID supported the General Electricity Company of Libya to reunify the eastern and western sections of the electricity grid, increasing the available power supply by 60% and reducing the frequency and duration of energy blackouts.
