Amman Municipality Adds 5,000 Homeland Workers
Amman Greater Municipality has reported that there is a move to contract private sector companies to manage waste collection and transportation in order to improve the quality of services. The Deputy City Manager confirmed that the transitional phase allows for an assessment of the companies' capabilities before transferring the service entirely to them. He stated that no municipal employees have been dismissed following the contracting process, and that the actual workforce needed ranges between 4,500 and 5,000 workers. So far, waste collection services have been transferred to private companies in 11 out of 22 districts, while the Municipality continues to manage the remaining 11 areas. The full transition is expected to be completed by mid-November. He also explained that the Municipality monitors performance and receives complaints to ensure the delivery of good sanitation services, and emphasized that any temporary accumulation of waste is a result of the transitional phase and will be addressed.
