In the framework of SWIM-H2020, ACR+ delivered a training aimed to support Jordan in implementing the road map set in the country’s National Green Growth Plan (NGGP). Organised on 26-27 November 2018 in Amman, it focused on the development of financial instruments and incentives to promote circular economy and sustainable consumption and production.

 
The NGGP was approved in February 2017 and identifies six priority sectors that provide coverage of key green growth issues and opportunities: transport, water, tourism, energy, agriculture and waste. The trainees came from a wide range of Ministries and associated Departments (Environment, Finance, Industry and Trade, etc.) as well as from Banks, Chambers of commerce and industry, Energy Saving Companies (ESCOs) and many others. By completing this training, participants enhanced their capacities on circular economy and sustainable consumption and production principles to prevent pollution in three sectors (waste, energy, transport). Follow-up trainings and a mentoring process for green projects’ development will soon follow.
