Jordan - USAID, OFESA sign action plan for first environmental incubator

Amman, Jan. 6 (Petra) -- The USAID's Recycling in Jordan Activity (RJA) signed a Joint Action Plan with the Organic Fertilizers Eco Systems Associations (OFESA) to establish 'DAWIR,' the first environmental incubator in Jordan.
In a statement on Thursday, the USAID said that 'DAWIR' provides financial and technical support to start-up groups in the recycling industry. Through this collaboration, the partners will provide innovative business solutions that can rapidly grow the recycling market, it added.
Moreover, this joint effort will enable start-ups and existing companies with creative ideas to provide new recycling services to the commercial sector in Amman, and support businesses to increase their sales, reduce their operational cost, and help improve their businesses' skills.
The JRA deploys a market systems approach to increase commercial sector utilization of recycling services in Amman, in partnership with the Ministry of Environment, the Greater Amman Municipality, the private sector, business incubators, and accelerators, according to the statement. It pointed out that incubators support innovative businesses in the recycling market and provide solutions that fill market gaps and expand recycling services.
Noteworthy, DAWIR specializes in supporting and promoting awareness across the solid waste management and recycling sector. It also has an extensive experience in the field of organic waste and focuses on providing startups and entrepreneurs in solid waste management and recycling with technical trainings in different fields including waste processing, gender issues, and networking.
