AMMAN — A seminar was held on February 15 by
Hayat Center-Rased to conclude a one-year project that called for the modernization
of public administration through making the most of the Jordanian youths’
skills.

The project, implemented by Al-Hayat Center for
Civil Society Development (Rased) with
USAID support, began in February 2021
with the aim of coming up with initiatives that would add value to Jordan’s
economy through sustainable development projects and a focus on
decentralization.
The seminar highlighted the goals and progress that
the local policy development program achieved during this last year, and the
fact that the sustainable initiatives that helped empower local communities
were regularly monitored to ensure that they reached the intended target.
Six main sectors
were covered by the project: health, local administration, tourism, agriculture
and environment, business, and education in different parts around the Kingdom.
Rased Director Amro Nawaiseh told
Jordan News:
“Through our progress, we hope that government officials are aware of the
recommendations and suggestions that the participants in this program offered,”
highlighting the value added by the Jordanian youth who worked on the above
sustainable initiatives.
“We hope that the
Jordanian youth becomes a key
partner, as opposed to a secondary partner, in the process of developing the
public sector. This is a solid step toward their involvement,” Nawaiseh said.
Speaking at the opening of the seminar,
Minister of Political and Parliamentary Affairs Musa Maaytah pointed out that during visits
to some of the initiatives he had noticed more women than men, which prompted
Nawaiseh to say: “Women were more involved, approximately 65 percent of the
participants, in fact. They have demonstrated that they are more than capable
of being decision makers. They have the experience and qualifications to offer
all that is required to develop and repair the public sector as well.”
HRH Crown Prince Hussein visited Rased last week, said
Nawaiseh, adding: “The Crown Prince motivated us and encouraged us to regularly
follow up on the youth’s progress and to offer what we have in terms of
experience and knowledge to them so that they are well equipped in the fields
they operate in. The participants will be an instrumental part of the
modernization of the Kingdom and its political reform.”
