by holding technical and knowledge-driven exchange talks with other national
committees regionally and globally.

youth in the Jordanian energy sector to participate better and engage them in
setting the sector’s policies, by working jointly to create initiatives,
campaigns, work teams and integrating in the decision-making processes.

director of MEMR Planning and Institutional Development, Shurooq Abdulghani,
said the ministry re-formed the
Jordanian National Committee (JNC) by the end

stakeholders from government institutions, the private sector and a youth
leader.
Abdulghani stressed that
the JNC’s new team contributed to the participation of the “largest” possible
number of national authorities to exchange knowledge and expertise and
integrate work, emanating from MEMR’s belief in the importance of participatory
action approach.
