This project aims to strengthen leadership of local municipalities and improve their ability to provide services, primarily in the central and southern parts of Jordan. Specifically, the project focuses on twelve selected municipalities that have been impacted by the influx of Syrian refugees. The project involves close collaboration with Jordan’s Ministry of Municipal Affairs and other strategic partners to improve local governance and operational capacity to respond to increasing demands for municipal services, including more effective strategies for managing solid waste. Canadian municipal practitioners and elected officials are also mobilized to provide peer-to-peer technical assistance to Jordanian municipalities through the creation of a virtual municipal training institute.
