The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Union (EU) are joining forces to support the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI) to expand the As Samra wastewater treatment plant in Jordan, to protect public health and the environment and ensure the efficient use of water.

The EU is providing a €30 million grant to co-finance an EBRD investment, which is due to be signed next year.

The EBRD project is designed to support the objectives of the Jordanian government and MWI to address the need for increased capacity in municipal services due to the Syrian refugee crisis as well as to expand and improve water sanitation services to increase local communities’ resilience.
