    Compost as solid waste management in Jordan
    Making every voice count for adaptive management (MEV-CAM) good practices: engage, learn, inspire

    Zaatari Refugee Camp (ZRC), in Northern Jordan, is the seventh-largest refugee camp globally, and it hosts around 80 000 Syrian refugees. This new population generates 34 metric tons (MT) of waste, which is collected and trucked out of the camp daily. Disposing the solid waste has become one of the most serious environmental problems in Jordan, with much of its waste ending up in landfill. FAO in Jordan established a 16 MT capacity waste processing facility within the framework of the “Enhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of hostcommunities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development” project, funded by the EU through its Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian crisis (MADAD). The project is implemented by FAO in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture,WFP and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). As a result, nearly 1,000 tons of waste is turned into compost annually. Composting is an excellent way of reducing the amount of solid waste going into landfills. Composting is a natural breakdown process which turns raw organic materials into biologically stable organic fertilisers or soil conditioner. Compost is crucial in the agricultural sector because of its positive effect on soil and plant health, without damaging groundwater. This practice has improved the sustainability of the ZRC, provided jobs for refugees and improved soil conditions for local farmers. The reader will be able to know more about this good practice,which was extracted by FAO's MEV-CAM initiative, working alongside communities participating in the MADAD project in Zaatari Fefugee Camp. This document aims to show the impact of good practices on local communities, from their own perspective. MEV-CAM will share these insights through the South –South Cooperation Knowledge Gateway, a platform designed to link the local knowledge held in these good practices with technical guidance.
