The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) published a tendering announcement on 10 July on SIMAP for the project “Sanitation solutions for underserved communities in Jordan”: www.simap.ch/shabforms/COMMON/search/searchForm.jsf
(key words: sanitation; period of time: current year)

The project, initiated by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), focuses on rethinking sanitation systems, by improving existing Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) and exploring the development of small scale Waste Water Treatment (WWT) and Faecal Sludge Treatment (FST) solutions. The goal of these improvements and developments is to increase WWT efficiency and sanitation coverage, and turn waste streams into physical and financial resource streams by ensuring and promoting safe reuse of the treated wastewater and faecal sludge. The focus is on Jordanian host communities as a whole, with a particular attention to be paid to unserved, vulnerable communities, as they are more and more impacted by the lack of adequate sanitation systems. The project will be subdivided into two distinct phases - the inception phase and the main phase.
