UNDP launched the “Heart of Amman” programme in July 2019 to support economic development in Jordan and to decrease urban and green space inequalities through urban revitalization, increasing socio-economic resilience and sustainable livelihoods, particularly among vulnerable communities in downtown Amman. The programme highlights the importance of protection and preservation of cultural heritage sites and provides opportunities for the residents in developing their own community initiatives. The initiatives have a strong focus on improving urban and community spaces including greening and beautifying neighborhoods and urban areas. Partnering with the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), UNDP has been encouraging young men and women to lead the community interventions and be part of the decision-making process on neighborhood improvement. Therefore, the “Heart of Amman” programme is envisaged to improve social cohesion and the sense of belonging of vulnerable Amman residents, as well as encourage them to have a stronger sense of community responsibility by protecting cultural legacy and revitalizing the areas in Amman. As part of its third phase, the “Heart of Amman programme III”, UNDP will aim at strengthening post COVID-19 resilience and social cohesion among vulnerable groups as well as accelerating local area development. The focus of Heart of Amman III will be on revitalizing areas and creating economic opportunities along the Hejaz Railway corridor. Jordan’s Hejaz Railway is considered as one of the oldest railways in the Arab States region, established more than 100 years ago, coinciding with the centennial of Jordan foundation. Thus, it serves to be a major heritage landmark in Jordan’s history and bearing significant socio-economic potential at the ‘Heart of Amman’ in downtown. Only a few sections of the railway however are currently operational. Also, the (Waqef) corridor land surrounding the railway, of Amman, is currently an open area with the potential to be re-developed to provide livelihood opportunities for local communities and promote tourism and visitor experiences. In this regard, UNDP, in close collaboration with the Greater Amman Municipality and the Hejaz Railway Corporation and other relevant government offices, aims to work on revitalizing the areas surrounding the Hejaz Railway in East and South of Amman by transforming them to public spaces, heritage sites attracting touristic experiences urban farms, community meeting places and/or sites for green infrastructure. UNDP envisages to implement the revitalization and development interventions along the railway with members of the local community while prioritizing vulnerable groups and women. By leading and participating in the implementation of the initiatives, affected community members will further enhance their sense of community belonging and responsibility. It is expected that livelihoods opportunities along the railway will be improved through the urban re-development interventions as well as strengthen social cohesion among the targeted demographic groups.
