Objectives

With the objective of improving how water resources are utilized and wastewater facilities are managed over the next 25 years, the Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Project (WIP) is responding to dire improvements needed in the water sector. The project seeks to achieve the objectives of:

1. Delivering critically needed water and wastewater infrastructure facilities
2. Providing training and capacity building to the WAJ and water companies throughout Jordan

Commenced in May, 2010, USAID’s five-year investment program involves the delivery of improvements in Amman, Zarqa, Ma’an, Tafileh, Jerash, and Irbid water/wastewater facilities. In the short-term, the WIP will implement an improved and more efficient water sector over the next five years. In the long-term, a comprehensive and fully responsive water strategy will be developed through the planning horizon of 2035.
