1. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT CONTEXT
Jordan has ratified the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in 2004 and the Ministry of Environment (MoEnv) became the national focal point for POPs issues. Jordan started its efforts under the Stockholm Convention in 2003 through implementing a project to develop the National Implementation Plan (NIP) supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and with the United Nations Development program (UNDP) to build the national capacities in POPs issues and to develop the NIP.The NIP was developed and disseminated all over the stakeholders in 2006, which was including related activities for Poly Chlorinated Biphenyl's (PCBs). The PCBs inventory, which was developed in 2004, was not detailed enough and the combined survey was not comprehensive enough to cover all transformers and equipments in Jordan that may be contain (PCBs).The NIP included special activatesactivities related to (PCBs) (1) equipment inventory to upgrade the previous inventory, (2) PCBs sampling, (3) test equipment, (4) label the PCBs containing equipments and (5) disposal of PCBs oil contained in equipment. The MoEnv was searching for a comprehensive project to deal with PCBs according to NIP and in the same time to adopt processes for international Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Environmental Practices (BEP). Ministry of Environment with the United Nations Development Program has developed a project document for (“Implementation of Phase I of a comprehensive Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) management system in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan) “which is funded by the Global Environment Facility.
There are substantial gaps on the way to install the well founded and operational system for safe PCB handling in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The main barrier in changing the situation to be aligned with existing international standards is the limited national capacity, lack of qualified technical advice on the modern approaches which would be essential at the first stages aimed at safe PCB management in the country and no adequate control measures, low awareness level on PCB associated risks and limited national resources
The project will provide Jordan with the tool to achieve effective compliance with respect it’s convention obligations and the objective of substantively minimizing the environmental and health risks, both local and global. It has been developed to specifically address the principle barriers identified during project preparation through (1) component one: regulatory and administrative strengthening for PCBs management, (2) component two: improving PCBs inventory and technical capacity for Environmentally Sound management (ESM) of PCB equipment and materials, (3) Component three; Demonstration projects for testing ESM system and disposal of PCB containing equipment, (4) Component four; learning, adaptive feedback, outreach and evalution.

2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND COMPONENTS
The project will provide necessary tools and increase technical capacity for Jordan sectors deal with PCBs to meet the requirements with respect to the Stockholm Convention with the overall objective of safeguarding the environment and health from PCB impacts at the national and global levels. A comprehensive system for environmentally sound management (ESM) and disposal of PCB materials will be take place, including up-to-date and functional PCB regulatory standards aligned with internationally recommended standers. The system will allow the required capacity building at the national level with a demonstration element targeting PCB material disposal abroad. The demo disposal component envisaged in the project will further re-enforce the awareness raising effect to ensure that industrial sector is fully aware of the Government requirements and approaches for safe PCB management through its final disposal. Project Components: The inception workshop emphasize the adjusted four main project components: Component 1: Regulatory and administrative strengthening for PCB management. This component aims to review the relevant laws and regulatory measures for effective control of PCB handling in Jordan and to list the following main points: hazardous waste classification, equipment registration, labeling and status reporting of PCBs. Through establish legal team to reviewing the all regulations on PCBs and to developing national guidelines describes Best Available Technology ( BAT) & Best Environmental Practices (BEP) for PCBs handling and management according to Environmental Sound Management (ESMMS) system, also registration system for the testeding equipment supported with computerize central database will be providedimplemented. The quality training and information dissemination workshops will improve better awareness level on the regulatory system, guidelines and its requirements.
Component 2: Improving PCB inventory and technical capacity for Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) of PCB equipment and materials.
Importantly, this component is addressing will address the barriers associated with the incomplete knowledge on the PCB inventory in Jordan through stimulating expanded sampling and testing of oil equipment oil. It will be aligned with removing limitations identified in the PCB analytical capacity sector, and specifically in the field, at the electric equipment owners. The component will further help in establishing a functional PCB equipment database. Further, it will develop ESM system for the direct application by enterprises with specialized trainings in the proper handling of PCB equipment. The in-house capacity of the private/public sector companies will be improved to prepare them to manage PCB equipment safely and minimize PCB releases, human exposure and equipment cross-contamination.

Finally, it will address the highly recommended needs for infrastructure upgrade to have proper interim storages, which will serve the project needs and in the same time face the Mministry of Eenvironment (MoEnv) obligation in used oil management roles within its timeframe and beyond prior to final PCB disposal abroad. Existing storage capacities were assessed to fit all shortall of the requirement for safety and environmentally sound design. Component 3: Demonstration projects for testing ESM system and disposal of PCB containing equipment. This element has been designed to test the feasibility and reliability of all the previously described project components performing together in a holistic PCB management system for meeting practical suitability of the project’s approach. The component will help dispose of around 40 tons priority PCB equipment and 100 tons of PCB contaminated materials through disposal in licensed disposal facilities abroad. This component also will also provide the specific training for PCBs management, handling, transportation, oil replacement, classification, sampling and testing… etc.
Component 4: Monitoring, learning, adaptive feedback, outreach and evaluationThe MoEnv will make periodic inspections to monitor and evaluate the private and governmental companies who are implementing the ESM system of PCBs handling and management. This is to To make the project more effectiveness at the national level. MoEnv will make periodic inspections to monitor the privet and governmental companies committed with the ESM of PCBs handling and management.

1. Co-financing parties provide lower contributions towards the project activities during the implementation of the project
Financial Low During PPG phase, intense consultations have been held with the private and public sector – owners of electric equipment. Resulting from these, the equipment holders assumed strong responsibility for the project’s success and committed considerable co-finance resources. The commitment of resources in most of the cases was confirmed by the respective board of directors which underlines dedication towards the project taken by the participating companies.
2. Longer time periods required for the adoption of the required legislation and regulatory measures and PCB holders delay their actions before the legislation is in place.
strategic Low The project implementation will start with the development and upgrade of PCB regulations. The PPG phase has already informed the PCB holders about the coming changes to install control over PCBs in the country, and the willingness of project parties has been documented through the co-finance letters attached to this proposal. The risk will be further mitigated by additional awareness raising on the Government plans through PCB workshops and direct contacts with the stakeholders.
3. Currency exchange rates and market prices for copper and other metals found in PCB transformers reduce in value and consequently disposal prices for equipment increases thus limiting PCB quantities for
Financial , operationa
l
Medium The impact of reduced capacity in terms of volume of PCBs eliminated would be mitigated by prioritizing those stockpiles having the highest PCB concentration and greatest environmental and/or health risk in the event of release. The project will ensure expanded research of current market prices to identify the optimal market conditions in order to effectively utilize international bidding procedures to achieve best value-for-money during disposal of PCB materials.

Introduction
Interest in Poly -Chlorinated Biphenyls, PCBs, is due to their harmful effects and tendency for long-range transboundary environmental transport. They have been included in the initial list of globally managed Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention.
Jordan is committed to safe management of PCBs as demonstrated by signature of the Stockholm Convention and its subsequent ratification. For planning appropriate action in the field of controlling POPs substances and releases as well as fulfilling the reporting requirements of the Convention, Government of Jordan developed an Action Plan for PCB management as a part of its National Implementation Plan (NIP) on POPs.
The PCB Action Plan evolved into this project which is a jointly undertaking by The Ministry of Environment (MoEnv), public / private sector and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is providing substantive grant funding for co-financing the project.
The (MoEnv) is currently implementing the project “Implementation of Phase I of a comprehensive PCB management system in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” with financial and technical support from the Global Environment FaccilityFacility (GEF) and United Nations Development Programme Jordan Country Office (UNDP Jordan CO).

Implementation of Phase I of a comprehensive Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) management system in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
Terms of Reference - National Project Assistant (NPA)
IntroductionInterest in Poly- Chlorinated Biphenyls, PCBs, is due to their harmful effects and tendency for long-range transboundary environmental transport. They have been included in the initial list of globally managed Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention.
Jordan is committed to safe management of PCBs as demonstrated by signature of the Stockholm Convention and its subsequent ratification. For planning appropriate action in the field of controlling POPs substances and releases as well as fulfilling the reporting requirements of the Convention, Government of Jordan developed an Action Plan for PCB management as a part of its National Implementation Plan (NIP) on POPs.
The PCB Action Plan evolved into this project which is a jointly undertaking by The Ministry of Environment (MoEnv) , public / private sector and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is providing substantive grant funding for co-financing the project.
The (MoEnv) is currently implementing the project “Implementation of Phase I of a comprehensive PCB management system in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” with financial and technical support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and United Nations Development Programme Jordan Country Office (UNDP Jordan CO).
The project will provide necessary tools and increase technical capacity of the country to meet the requirements with respect to the Stockholm Convention with the overall objective of safeguarding the environment and health from PCB impacts at the national and global levels. A comprehensive system for Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) and disposal of PCB materials will be put in place, including up-to-date and functional PCB regulatory standards aligned with internationally recommended benchmarks. The system will allow the required capacity building at the national level with a demonstration element targeting PCB material disposal abroad. The demo disposal component envisaged in the project will further re-enforce the awareness raising effect to ensure that industrial sector is fully aware of the Government requirements and approaches for safe PCB management through its ultimate disposal.
The project will have four components:1. Regulatory and administrative strengthening for PCB management.2. Improving PCB inventory and technical capacity for Environmentally Sound
Management (ESM) of PCB equipment and materials
