Project Overview
The Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact in Jordan represented a $275 million commitment to rehabilitating and modernizing water and wastewater infrastructure across the Zarqa Governorate. The project encompassed the conversion of an aging pumped water distribution system to a gravity-fed network, rehabilitation and replacement of approximately 40 miles of water transmission pipelines and 250 miles of distribution piping, and expansion of sewer coverage by up to 140 kilometers. The improvements aimed to deliver reliable water service to approximately one million residents and increase wastewater collection to 85 percent of the community. The client engaged PRESWERX to produce a film supporting this high-stakes international grant pursuit.
Client Challenges
Pursuing a $275 million Millennium Challenge Corporation grant required communicating a complex, multi-system infrastructure program to an international funder with exacting standards:
Translating a highly technical water and wastewater rehabilitation program into a compelling visual story accessible to non-technical grant reviewers.
Conveying the human impact of the project, including improved water access for approximately one million residents, alongside the engineering scope.
Presenting a credible, polished case for a program spanning multiple infrastructure systems across an entire governorate.
Meeting the production standard expected for a high-profile international compact with significant public health and economic implications.
A compelling film was critical to bridging the gap between engineering detail and grant funder decision-making.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX produced a grant support film tailored to the scale and significance of the Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact in Jordan. The film communicated the project's breadth across water supply, distribution, and wastewater systems, bringing to life the planned conversion to a gravity-fed network, the rehabilitation of hundreds of miles of aging pipelines, and the expansion of sewer coverage across the Zarqa Governorate. The production was crafted to connect the engineering program to its human impact, illustrating what improved water service would mean for the approximately one million residents the project aimed to reach.
PRESWERX Approach
PRESWERX approached this film as a bridge between complex infrastructure engineering and the human story that would resonate with an international grant funder:
Translated technical project components, including pipeline rehabilitation, system conversion, and sewer expansion, into a narrative that a non-engineering audience could follow and connect with.
Framed the project around its human impact, centering the story on water access and improved community health outcomes for one million residents across the Zarqa Governorate.
Delivered a production quality consistent with the significance of a $275 million international compact and the expectations of a high-scrutiny grant review.
The result was a film that made the case for the project as clearly as the engineering did.
Results Delivered
PRESWERX delivered a grant support film calibrated to the expectations of the Millennium Challenge Corporation:
The film conveyed the full scope of the water and wastewater program, from pipeline rehabilitation to sewer expansion, in a format accessible to grant reviewers and international stakeholders.
The human impact narrative, centered on improved water service for approximately one million residents, gave the client's proposal an emotional anchor to complement the technical case.
A polished, professional production reflected the credibility and preparedness of the client's team going into the grant review.
The client entered the MCC grant process with a film that matched the ambition of the project it represented.
