The Government of Japan has extended a grant of one hundred twenty-two thousand eight hundred eighty-one US dollars (US$122,881) to Greater Karak Municipality for the provision of waste collection trucks under the scheme called Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGP).
The Grant Contract was signed by Mr. ASARI Hideki, Ambassador of Japan to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and Mr. Moh'd Maaitah, Mayor of Greater Karak Municipality on 24th February, 2025.
This grant is aimed at addressing the challenge of waste collection in Karak City due to its growing population of 130,600, including Syrian refugees. Greater Karak Municipality has been committed to improving the lives of its residents since its establishment in 1893. The two waste collection trucks funded by this grant assistance will enhance the Municipality’s waste collection capacity, ensuring a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment for Karaks’ residents.
During the signing ceremony, Ambassador ASARI Hideki expressed his appreciation to the Municipality for its ongoing dedication to public services and stated: “Greater Karak Municipality has a proud history of serving its people since 1893. For over 130 years, it has demonstrated resilience and a strong commitment to improving the lives of its residents. This project is another step forward in its continued dedication to building a better future for the community. I am confident that our grant assitance will contribute to ensuring a healthier environment for all. ”
In turn, Mr. Moh'd Maaitah expressed his pride in the partnership between the Municipality and the Embassy of Japan, highlighting the positive impact of the grant. He expressed, “This generous grant, which will provide us with two waste collection trucks, will bring about a qualitative shift in the level of services provided to citizens. It will contribute to raising the efficiency of waste collection operations, and will reduce operational burdens thus leading to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.”
Mr. Moh'd Maaitah further emphasized the Municipality’s commitment to managing the new trucks efficiently to ensure that waste collection services are delivered to the people of Karak with the highest level of responsibility. He extended heartfelt gratitude to the Government of Japan and to Mr. ASARI Hideki, Ambassador of Japan to Jordan, and the Embassy staffs for their strong support.
Since 1993, under the Japanese Grant Assistance for Grass-Roots Human Security Projects, Japan has extended more than 10.5 million US Dollars for 160 projects across Jordan, supporting non-governmental organizations, schools, hospitals, and local governments.
