Final Evaluation of the Project “Improving Water and Sanitation Services in the Middle East and North Africa Region” (implemented by Chemonics) - USAID
USAID commissioned this evaluation in order to generate insights into IWSMR’s success in building ACWUA’s “capacity to sustainably carry out its mandate to promote certification and accreditation, capacity development and information exchange among water and wastewater utilities and professionals during and beyond project completion.” The evaluation was also specifically tasked with assessing ACWUA’s “ability to sustain itself as a regional entity and manage funds given its future role in the region and its capacity at end of activity.”
• Review of ACWUA business plan
• Check ACWUA’s sustainability
• Check ACWUA’s capacity
• Assess training requirements of ACWUA members (Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, & Iraq) vs training provided by ACWUA,
Responsible for:
Project Manage the following activities:
• Manage and coordinate surveying 400 industries to identify opportunities for Pollution Prevention and for conserving water and energy
• Manage and coordinate carrying out Pollution Prevention (reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production processes, promoting the use of non-toxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques, and re-using materials rather than putting them into the waste stream) and Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) assessments to 40 different industrial facilities. These assessments aim to improve industrial environmental management through technical and Institutional support by building capacity within industrial sectors specific to Jordan and by identifying opportunities to implement EMS and P2 programs tailored to each partner facility. This include:
o Develop water conservation measures.
o Develop energy conservation measures, with a focus on the renewable energy systems such as PV -Photovoltaic- and CSP -Concentrating solar power- technologies.
o
o Identify financing options for P2 improvements.
• Design three centralized industrial wastewater treatment plants (IWTP).
• Preparing an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Plan for selected industrial estates.
