Technical Support and Management for At-source Sorting, Material Recovery Facili

The “Mitigating Climate Change through Solid Waste Management in Southern Jordan” project, is considered to be a new inspiration in solid waste treatment in Jordan, based on the successful models that have been implemented by UNDP with the support from the Government of Canada (GAC) in northern Jordan and other similar models worldwide. The project considers the local context of the target area in the south and the different technical (amount and type of wastes generated) and socioeconomic aspects. This project is built on the successes of the previous projects implemented in the North of Jordan.
