EDAMA Association for Energy, Water & Environment

EDAMA in Arabic means sustainability. EDAMA Association is a Jordanian NGO established in 2009 in response to Jordan’s energy, environment, and water security needs. As a Business Association, EDAMA cultivates an environment where innovative solutions for energy and water independence and environmental conservation emerge.

Advancing Jordan’s movement towards a green economy and sustainable development is an ambitious and priority goal. To be achieved, robust knowledge hubs, multi-stakeholder dialogue avenues, and private sector mobilization are required. EDAMA’s niche is in providing a platform agile and inclusive enough to involve many public, private, NGO, research and innovation sector representatives. These key players together discuss and shape the future development of the energy, water and environment (EWE) sectors in Jordan.

The Four Main Pillars of the Association’s Work:
