AECOM, EBRD, Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance, Amman Municipality
2019 – 2021
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), with support from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance and AECOM, collaborated with the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) to develop a Green City Action Plan (GCAP) for the City to tackle growing challenges (such as solid waste management, air quality, congestion, water supply and treatment, green space and biodiversity).
To inform the GCAP, in 2019, GAM requested additional support from EBRD to develop a comprehensive public consultation plan in order to support GAM develop a robust GCAP which takes into consideration the citizens opinion about priority actions. Recent events in Amman meant that GAM’s public perception has been adversely affected. As such the objective of the ‘Public Engagement’ assignment is twofold:
- To gather and integrate public opinion into the development of the GCAP; and
- Communicate GAM’s commitment to improving the environment.
Leaders of Tomorrow took this part and designed an interactive public engagement campaign “Amman in Green” with many activities that includede a social media campaign, creative competitions, public discussions with municipality members, and others.
