Since Jordan became a member of the Global Environmental Facility, the organization has granted money to various projects in the country.[19] Present in more than 180 countries and was created in 1992, GEF has various agencies in Jordan.[20] GEF allocates money to three types of projects in Jordan: national projects, regional projects, and small grants. In the national level, it provided more than U$60 million in the form of grants for 29 national Jordanian projects.[21] In some of the national projects, Jordan has had only partial success in reaching the goals set by the GEF. For example, because of inefficient use of aid, a major ecosystems management project in the country was cancelled.[22] Regional programs have received U$167 million in the form of grant.
