Mission:
“Contribute to the Sustainable
development of the Jordanian Badia environment and the preservation and
enhancement of the traditional way of life and the standard of living of the
inhabitants, under management systems which conserve the natural resources”
Vision:
The fundamental goal of the Jordan
Badia Research and Development Centre (BRDC) is to improve the quality of life
for all inhabitants of the Badia through sustainable development while linking
the economy through national development policies and plans. In order to attain
these goals the BRDC uses the following principles:
-
Conserving natural resources
through appropriate
management systems, so that production levels will be sustainable in the long
term.
-
Optimizing
returns
from investments already
made by people in the region and enhancing the returns on future investments
in the region through careful allocation of resources.
-
Responding to
the needs
of the community and
facilitating the transfer of information to the community from all sources.
-
Maintaining a
high level of competency
within the BRDC by
offering continuing education and training to the staff so that they can all
remain current within the rapidly changing scientific community.
-
Transferring
skills and information
from all available sources
to the community through appropriate technologies.
-
Training of
personnel
to the highest
possible levels to provide a specialized research and development staff for
the Badia region to train the people of the region, and to transform the
Centre's research and development field centre into a centre of excellence in
the study and implementation of sustainable development in arid regions.
-
Creating
successful pioneer model programs
that can be duplicated in other
parts of the Badia and in other areas of the country.
-
Enhancing
teamwork
amongst the inhabitants in
order to create self-reliant communities and to limit migration from the
region by transforming the Badia into an attractive focal region for
productivity, investment and living.
-
Expanding and
enhancing eco-tourism
opportunities in the
Badia.
