The objective of the Amman Solid Waste Management Project for Jordan is to strengthen the operational, financial, and environmental performance of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in Amman. There are three components to the project. The first component is the institutional strengthening and capacity development. This component will finance technical assistance and capacity-building activities benefiting Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) departments involved in the planning, development, operation, and evaluation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) services. This component will also finance: (a) technical assistance to GAM in operating the landfill site and monitoring the Landfill gas (LFG) recovery contract; and (b) engineering services for supervising all civil works contracts, including construction of cell 3 and upgrading of the existing leachate treatment facility, and the construction of the two new transfer stations. The second component is the infrastructure development. This component includes three sub-components to the project aimed at improving the cost recovery and effectiveness of disposal and transfer, management strengthening and capacity expansion of the existing landfill, and using LFG to generate electricity. The first sub-component is the landfill construction and upgrade of leachate treatment facility. The second sub-component is the construction of two transfer stations. Under this sub-component, the project will expand the transfer system by financing the construction and equipment of two new transfer stations to service the Northwest and Southwest areas of Amman. The third sub-component is the design, build and operation (DBO) of an LFG recovery system. Finally, the third component is the project management. This component will finance necessary technical assistance to the Project Management Unit (PMU), which is being established to undertake the day to day management of the project. The technical assistance to the PMU will facilitate the PMU's overall supervisory, coordinating, and monitoring role.
