The training will
include virtual and physical training sessions for 11 businesses. It will integrate international best practices
in field operations and address real life challenges that businesses face in
offering their recycling services, according to a statement from
USAID.
Training topics include industry analysis and evaluation, marketing and sales, business modeling,
process mapping and operations, quality assurance and quality control,
financial knowledge and literacy, and practical skills, such as solid waste
management characterization, and sorting techniques.
The training
will ultimately be delivered to a total of 120 businesses.
The project
works closely with private recycling firms, the commercial sector, the Ministry
of Environment, and the Greater Amman Municipality to increase business
competitiveness by strengthening market linkages and improve the business
environment.
By transforming
a largely informal network of recycling services into a competitive recycling
industry, the project will contribute to sustainable solid waste management in
Amman.
