Establishing a waste management company, recycling centre and promoting the integration of refugees in Ar-Ramtha (JOR)

About this project

The partner municipality is one of the municipalities in Jordan that has been severely affected by the crisis in Syria: Within just ten years, the number of inhabitants has almost doubled from 100,000 to around 180,000 due to the influx of refugees. The public infrastructure and local waste management in particular are overwhelmed by this increase in population. In addition, social tensions among the local population are increasing as the Syrian war continues and the immigrants have no prospect of returning. Therefore, the organizational capacities of waste management are to be strengthened, recycling activities are to be optimized and expanded and the technical capacities of municipal integration work in Ar-Ramtha are to be strengthened. In the waste management field of action, the operational start-up of an already established municipal waste management company, the expansion of the existing waste sorting plant into a municipal recycling center and the introduction of composting of organic waste are planned. The city of Augsburg can support the partner municipality with its knowledge and experience, whereby both the local population and the informal sector should benefit equally.
