The importance of environmentally sustainable public utilities in
the Middle East is an improbable topic for a Washington think tank
study. Yet, many countries in the Middle East face serious
challenges providing utilities in any manner to their populations,
and the failure to do so is an increasing flashpoint for public
dissatisfaction. This study finds that providing more
environmentally sustainable services in the Middle East would be an
effective way to address many citizens’ grievances which go
beyond the reliability of those services. It would also help
ameliorate deep dissatisfaction with the quality of governance and
help build trust between citizens and their governments. This study
examines three sectors—power, water and sanitation, and solid
waste—in Jordan, Lebanon, and Tunisia. While the three countries
are different in many ways, each faces increasing challenges
providing services to their citizens. Providing these services in
an environmentally sustainable way would also crucially increase
each country’s resilience and diminish their vulnerability in a
chronically unstable region.
