About the project
The proposed Series of Projects (SOP) provides the investment support and long-term approach needed for full implementation of the Water Sector Financial Sector Roadmap and to improve the efficiency and resilience of the water sector.

The program is aligned with, and will contribute to, the Economic Modernization Vision, Government’s National Strategy for the Water Sector, and Non-Revenue Water Reduction and Energy Efficiency Strategies.

Project Implementation Status
Despite the slow initial pace of disbursement, procurement is accelerating as a result of capacity building and hands-on support.
Procurement for design and works have been initiated for all three water companies with procurement for nearly all activities
expected to be launched by end of February 2025. Rehabilitation works have been identified and prioritized for governorates Irbid,
Madaba, Amman, Mafraq, and Ma’an. Investments are expected to improve service delivery for refugees and host communities.
Project implementation is expected to continue to accelerate in the upcoming reporting period as implementors award contracts and
designs and works begin.
