Description
enThe Sustainable Cultural Heritage Through Engagement of Local Communities Project (USAID SCHEP) is a cooperative agreement between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR). The first phase of the project was implemented from 2014 until 2018 at nine heritage sites throughout Jordan.
The Madaba Archaeological Park West is a cross section of Madaba’s past and present, including remnants from the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods. Here, USAID SCHEP partnered with the Madaba Regional Archaeological Museum Project (MRAMP), a partnership between American, Italian, and Jordanian institutions, to help prepare the site eventually to become home to a regional archaeological museum.
