The “Waste Management and Recycling Acceleration Training Program for Small and Growing
Businesses in the Recycling Sector in Amman” (referred to as “The SGBs Program”) is part of the
USAID Recycling in Jordan Activity efforts to enhance the competitiveness of waste management
service providers in Jordan.
The training aims to strengthen the capacity of small and growing businesses in the areas of industry
analysis and evaluation; marketing and sales; business modeling; supply chain optimization; solid waste
management characterization and basic feasibility assessment; 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 help these
businesses grow and expand their recycling service offerings to the market and realize a sustainable
profitable recycling business model. This will help realize the sector’s national objective of decreasing
the amount of waste reaching the landfill through a modern and integrated system that will be based
on the “Three R's” approach (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle).
This completion report highlights the approach and findings of the implementation of the Activity’s
third business training cohort
