With the Syrian crisis, the number of refugees entering Irbid Governorate has increased the population substantially; and caused a considerable burden on the local host communities, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities, national resources, and the governmental and sub-national budgets. Hence, the basic social, municipal, and economic services and infrastructures are affected and overloaded. According to UNHCR reports (January 2015), Jordan hosts over 750,000 Syrian refugees, of which over 55% are settled in the Northern Governorates of Irbid, Mafraq and Ramtha, where approximately 85% of the refugees are living in a non-camp setting in the urban and rural areas. The recent increase in the local population represents nearly an additional 350 tons per day of MSW, which exceeds the current collection capacity and overloads the disposal capacity

The Solid Waste Management (SWM) services are no longer held to the same standard that they were prior to the influx of refugees. MSW collection and disposal has become a major challenge for local municipalities and Joint Service Councils (JSC); the average MSW generation rates have dramatically increased over the last four years, further stressing the existing MSW collection capacity, the limited airspace, and the operational capacity of the landfill and disposal facilities. Accordingly, the overall situation of the MSW management system in most of local municipalities of the Northern Governorate of Irbid is characterized by a massively littered environment: deteriorated MSW collection systems with damaged equipment and vehicles, a total absence of any MSW recycling, and inappropriate and dangerous waste disposal activities in the existing landfill site of Al-Akaider

There is an urgent need to construct a new MSW transfer station facilities in both designated local municipalities to minimize the depreciation of current operating MSW fleets, and to control the overall cost of MSW collection and transportation services. The construction of such transfer stations will result in a prolongation of the operational period of the MSW collection trucks and in the minimization of the environmental risks arising from the waste transfer operations.

UNDP, through a fund from the Government of Canada, is at the stage of constructing the planned transfer station in Jerash. The project also will focus on local female involvement through the generation of women’s employment opportunities, including at the transfer station and within the different communities of the 3 designated municipalities—Tabaqet Fahel, Mo’ath Bin Jabal, and Sharhabeel Bi Hasna.

The Solid Waste Management (SWM) Trainer (IC) is to serve:

• Under the supervision of Multi-Sectoral Environmental Engineer and the Construction Manager;
• In Coordination with the technical supervision of the Project Management Unit of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MoMA).

Technical and financial proposals along with CV & 3 references should be submitted, and without such will not be considered.
