Jordan: Municipal Support

This project helps Jordan’s local governments deliver municipal services more effectively.

The Jordan Municipal Support Project (JMSP) supports Jordanian municipalities through improved municipal services and solid waste management. This initiative also works to promote social cohesion through inclusive community engagement.

JMSP works with Jordan’s Ministry of Local Administration (MoLA) and 12 partner municipalities to help municipalities carry out their responsibilities more effectively and efficiently, leading to better delivery of essential services and to the building of a stronger foundation for the continued development of Jordan’s municipal sector.

Canadian and Jordanian municipal practitioners provide peer-to-peer technical assistance to elected municipal officials and municipal staff, MoLA staff and community members, including women and youth.

JMSP is a five-year project implemented by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in collaboration with Jordan’s Ministry of Local Administration, 12 Jordanian municipalities and funded by Global Affairs Canada.
