Water Resources Management Programme VIII

active

The Water Resources Management Programme VIII project builds on the predecessor projects of the WRMP (WRMP I - VII) and is designed as a fundamentally open programme for the financing of water projects in Jordan. Financing is currently planned for a seawater desalination plant (component 1), for water loss reduction (component 2) and a component for financial support of the Project Management Unit (PMU), located at the project sponsor Water Authority of Jordan (component 3). However, measures to expand supply networks or water transport systems could also be taken into account or the measures to reduce water loss could be expanded if these are prioritised by the partner due to changed framework conditions. For component 1, the German contribution to the national desalination project, a cooperation was entered into with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the French Agence Française de Développement (AFD) under the Mutual Reliance Initiative (MRI), in which the EIB acts as the lead donor. The target group of the project is the entire population of Jordan (around 11 million people including Syrian refugees in the project region).
