From August 2021 to December 2023, the ‘Water and Environment Support (WES) in the ENI Southern Neighborhood region’ Project provided technical assistance ‘Consolidation activities on Green Banking and support to green investment opportunities to curb plastic waste in Jordan” (N-E-JO-2) in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment (MoENV) in Jordan.

Its aim was to support the implementation of the Green economy roadmap and green investment opportunities especially in the plastic waste sector in Jordan, and on addressing Single-Use Plastics (SUPs).

The activity also aimed at improving the understanding of the factors that enable or hinder the Central
and Commercial Banks of Jordan, as well as the private sector, to invest in green projects. The activity was closely coordinated with the WES Focal Point at the Ministry of Environment (MoENV) in Jordan, and the EU Delegation to Jordan was actively involved in its implementation. It was linked with another “twin” WES activity called “Contribution to the development of a joint publicprivate roadmap to transition to reduce the use of single-use plastics (SUPs) in Jordan” (N-E-JO-1).
