Located in the Middle East, Jordan borders Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Palestine. The population of this country should be about 6. 5 million people by 2010. Agriculture is a major source of income in this country and is particularly encouraged in the Jordan Valley. In recent decades, the problems facing this country have included unemployment, low income and debris waste from all sectors. These problems are particularly prevalent in the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan, like Zarqa camps Weidhard and where many women lack access to employment. These camps are one of ten Jordanian refugee camps, which house some 326,000 refugees, killing about 18 percent of the 1.84 million refugees registered with UNRWA United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, in Jordan. While refugees living in three unofficial camps in and around camps “should be added to this number, we can say that about 65 percent of Palestine refugees in Jordan live in the same socio-economic conditions.” ; / P>

In light of the socio-economic conditions in all camps, it is highly recommended that international agencies such as UNRWA, relevant United Nations bodies United Arab League, NGOs and the Government of Jordan in implementing a project in the refugee camp Weidhard and other refugee camps in Jordan similar. The main problems Weidhard refugee camps are deteriorating buildings and built-up areas, garbage and waste stockpiles; inconsistencies in the waste disposal rate of unemployment, particularly among women and high cost of fertilizers used in agriculture, and

lack of impact of the operation of environmental clubs.

Such a project could empower women, youth and leaders in the refugee camp Weidhard to engage in income generating activities through the collection, recycling and sale of certain types of waste for later use. This project will also help resolve the problem of environmental waste management, which has devastating effects of pollution and climate change through emissions of greenhouse gases and other dangerous gases (from waste), adversely affects the health and living conditions certain sectors of the population, physical environment and land use. The women in these camps come into contact with many forms of waste such as household income, which are the result of their domestic activities. By allowing women of waste collection and further reprocess into compost that is sold to farmers, women leaders will ensure the protection of the environment while providing affordable fertilizers in agriculture. The benefits of composting include the improving soil fertility and healthy root development in plants. Composting also improves health, living conditions and the physical environment of the surrounding population, leading to job creation, income generation , social progress, and recognition and advertising outside of the community. Indeed, the mechanisms of the environment could be used to achieve development objectives in this camp.

Depending on the success of its implementation, such a project could be replicated in other parts of Jordan in the final stages. This project could contribute to the achievement Jordan’s sustainable development objectives in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 7, which urged countries to implement environmentally friendly policies and programs; UN MDG 3, which requires that countries must advance women’s equality in their programs and the United Nations MDG 1, which obliges countries to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Such a problem could also allow the integration of women and issues refugees in environmental issues, an approach that could make the achievement of Jordan’s development is easier, rather than treat these issues separately.

Such a project would also involve the implementation of a series of measures taken by the various stakeholders working together to implement. These measures include: liaising with municipalities to clearly define the respective roles of each participant in the process of implementing the project to identify a level, well drained area where composting takes place, to identify and hire workers and women leaders to implement the project and track to identify the different types of waste produced within refugee communities, and put them into different categories, the purchase of plastic bags, gloves, dust bins, boots, boxes and other equipment suitable for women leaders and workers during two training development for women leaders, farmers and a number of officials in these cities, the types of organic waste that should be used for composting. This includes bags tea, banana peels and many types of kitchen waste, manure, bird, corn cobs, hair, peanut shells and paper.

Other measures include: improving the skills of stakeholders in the process of composting and sorting of waste should be avoided and train these workers on the environmental impacts of poor waste management dangerous, as well as economic and environmental benefits of sustainable management practices of waste, making a series of awareness campaigns on environmental prevention of the disposal of garbage in the streets, rubbish and also the incentives that could be granted to the best practice areas, and to finalize a draft guidance manual and Waste Management Charter and investigate the number of existing homes, shops, commercial and industrial areas and farms these cities and remove accumulated waste in the streets. measures

others are: to identify specific areas in those cities where women leaders collect garbage from shops and houses and where waste bins will be put in place to distribute a questionnaire to find some salient features of waste management in four cities such as constraints in waste management, organize group discussions to get more views of the community on waste management, with practical suggestions on how this can be improved, distribute plastic bags to homes and businesses to establish an organized and regular the garbage collection of these sites and the elimination of a particular area of dumping in the four cities through discussions with local authorities, and arrange with local authorities to provide vehicles for transporting garbage, separating organic waste from inorganic waste, and collect organic waste for composting in a box, with garden soil at the base, with the temperature and the amount involved in the heat, monitor the composting process, save for fertilizer in separate paper bags for sale to farmers, clean inorganic wastes (eg plastic bottles) and recycled for resale and reuse, cooperating with local authorities and treat waste remaining in a landfill, taking due account of ecological principles.

results and expected benefits of such a project are numerous. It of the rise

some positive developments such as trained managers to raise the level of environmental awareness among individuals throughout the communities; pass over incomes and higher levels of employment opportunities for women by promoting recycling of waste for sale as compost, improve partnerships between community, private sector and municipal authorities for the improvement concerns environmental, formulation and implementation of guidelines and a bill on waste management which consists of environmentally sound principles in waste management, strengthening of partnerships between the community and the Ministry of Environment, the application of laws and policies on waste management, while paying attention to the principles of the Charter of waste management and Jordan’s waste management policy, the availability of fertilizers at reasonable prices for the purchase and use by farmers in the towns and refugee status in the Jordan Valley, as well as an established system of recycling of waste for reuse.

Given the latter, such a project could enable the world community and Jordan could solve the pressing problems such as poverty and lack of employment.
