EDAMA, an Arabic word meaning ‘sustainability’, is a private sector lead initiative supported by
the USAID Jordan Economic Development Program (SABEQ). Jordan’s EDAMA Initiative is formed as a private sector
partnership that seeks innovative solutions for energy and water independence, and their positive reflection on the environment. EDAMA initiators liaise with counterpart initiatives
and efforts that observe the same objectives, in both the
private and public sectors. As a result EDAMA witnesses
substantive participation or representation in all initiatives
through its work teams and/or it’s Steering Committee.
