Banyan Global is a subcontractor to Chemonics International on the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Recycling in Jordan Activity. The Activity works with private recycling firms, the commercial sector, and the Government of Jordan to increase commercial sector usage of recycling services in Amman, Jordan. The Activity aims to expand and improve private sector-led recycling services, generate greater demand for and usage of recycling services within the Amman commercial sector, and increase local and national government support for solid waste management.

Banyan Global supports the project’s activities with informal waste pickers, people with disabilities, youth, and refugees. Banyan Global is collaborating with two local organizations to co-design training programs for waste pickers to enhance their business management skills.  We have also developed a “Grow Your Business” training for entrepreneurs interested in expanding their informal operations. Our work has included providing certification training to over 1,500 individuals, enhancing their skills and opportunities within the informal waste management sector.

Banyan Global supported two major Amman Recycling Conferences in March 2023 and June 2024. These events, organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and the Greater Amman Municipality, highlighted the project’s impact across Jordan’s recycling sector.

Together with our partners, Banyan Global is driving meaningful change in Jordan’s recycling sector to support its growth and resilience.
