description This study examined the key challenges obstructing the sustainable development in the waste management sector in Jordan. A questionnaire was designed and conveyed to stakeholders to collect their perspectives on the key challenges and the waste management data parameters. It was concluded that the most critical challenges are the lack of strict laws and legislation, inefficient management, insufficient financial capacity, the lack of strict laws and regulations, and the lack of public awareness and contribution. Nonetheless, waste management challenges in Jordan could be clustered under three dimensions: limited private sector involvement, weak institutional capacities, and poor community engagement. The inadequacy of waste management data in Jordan was tackled through the design of a simple and innovative databank system, and in accordance with recommendations inferred from the questionnaire. The databank system was developed in a way to guarantee the smooth and sustainable data monitoring and storage, and to allow users to generate daily, monthly, or annual progress reports in a simple manner.
