Al-Kasbi and Youth Minister Mohammad Al-Nabulsi, Issawi opened Damia Football
Stadium in Deir Alla district in
Jordan Valley, Al-Ardah Youth Centre in Sihan
and the Yarga Youth Centre near Salt, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, said.
Petrsa said that youth are at the center of His Majesty's attention as he
constantly directs the provision of all necessary support to them to tap into
their energies and creativity, and advance youth work by upgrading their
capacities and skills toward creativity, innovation and production. Royal
initiatives also touch on the needs of local communities to make a "qualitative
leap" that will have an impact on target groups, the agency added.
In Deir Alla, Issawi inaugurated the Zaha Cultural Center Park, which includes
a center for developing childhood skills, a 5-a-side soccer playground and a
children’s play area with the necessary equipment and games, in addition to
other facilities, which was launched in cooperation with the Zaha Cultural
Centre and funded by the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation
within the framework of cooperation and partnership with government agencies
and civil society institutions.
The Royal Court Chief also toured a project to build 400 housing units for
low-income families in Al-Malaha in the Deir Alla district, as part of the
project’s first phase, where he was told that about 93 per cent of work was
completed, besides the infrastructure of the entire project, which will include
800 homes.
Issawi told Petra in an interview
that improving the living conditions of Jordanians and providing them with
qualitative services are a top priority for His Majesty the King, and that the
royal initiatives aim to meet that objective, as they include all social groups
and seek to meet the pressing needs of target communities and uplift all
sectors in them.
For his part, minister Al-Kasbi said the Housing Ministry oversees the progress
of construction and helps to address hindrances at the housing project, which
he predicted will be up and running by the year's end.
During the inauguration ceremonies, there was full adherence to the health
safety measures and precautions that are in place due to the coronavirus
pandemic, Petra said.
