The five-day event comes under the
partnerships launched to support Jordan's Ministry of Local Administration in
refining Jordan's most vulnerable workers' skills, producing administrative
outcomes to advance the status of the targeted municipalities, developing their
policies, and integrating modern business methods, according to a joint
statement by the ministry and the ILO, carried by the Jordan News Agency,
Petra.
The workshop targets 25 engineers from the
Local Administration Minister and the Kingdom's municipalities, focusing on
municipalities in Syrian refugee-hosting communities in the northern
governorates of Irbid and Mafraq, the ministry’s Director of Solid Waste
Management Unit Basem Saeedh said.
ILO Project Manager Aya Kasasbeh said the
coordination between the ILO and the ministry has achieved "positive"
results that will lead to fulfilling the project's "desired goals”
including to reduce environmental risks associated with climate change and
promote the concept of eradicating poverty and unemployment by preserving
natural resources.
The workshop comprises training sessions
on implementing green labor-intensive projects and field visits to three
labor-intensive areas in Naour, Amman, to team up efforts to launch a conscious
environmental culture to support municipalities, the statement concluded.
