Chemonics is anticipating the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to fund a five-year project titled the Improved Water Sector Management and Governance Program to assist the Government of Jordan with sustainable water sector management and governance. The project will support strengthening policy development and capacity building efforts so Jordan’s water sector institutions can effectively and efficiently ensure the country’s water security. Illustrative interventions and activities include:

• Assistance to municipalities in water conservation programs

• Promotion of new technologies or behavior changes, in coordination with utilities and/or the private sector, that will lead to water conservation

• Review of subsidies and tariffs for irrigation and water supply

• Capacity building of policy-setting personnel involved in the water sector and water reform process and technical assistance to support that process
