Jordan Water Efficiency and Conservation (WEC)

Jordan’s water scarcity is compounded by population growth, potential impacts of climate change including declining rainfall, and increasing demand on water for economic growth. The Water Efficiency and Conservation (WEC) Activity aims to support Jordan’s efforts to optimize water use by devising and applying commercial incentives to the agriculture, industrial, and the municipal sectors and strengthening the government of Jordan’s governance capacities. The WEC Activity contributes to USAID/Jordan’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy’s (CDC: 2020-2025) five-year goals of supporting Jordan to advance its stability, prosperity and self-reliance by spurring including private sector-led economic growth, improving water security, strengthening accountable governance, fostering a healthy, well-educated population, and enhancing the agency and leadership of women and youth.
