Amman, Sept. 7 (Petra) — A workshop to update Jordan’s national
occupational standard for the ‘water auditor’ profession was wrapped
up on Monday, with a focus on competencies and skills required for
the profession under approved standards.

The workshop was organized by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation’s
Strategic Planning Department, through the Water Demand Management
Directorate, in cooperation with the Accreditation and Quality
Assurance Commission for Higher Education Institutions, with support
and funding from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(EBRD).

Participants reviewed and updated the occupational standard for water
auditors and identified the tasks, competencies, and skills required
for the profession, the ministry said in a statement.

It said the workshop is part of broader efforts to institutionalize
water auditing and build specialized national capacity in improving
water-use efficiency and reducing consumption.

The initiative is intended to help prepare qualified staff capable of
carrying out water audits in accordance with approved professional
standards, said the ministry.
