Ministry halts Associations Law draft amendment project

AMMAN — The project to create a draft amendment to the Associations Law was halted as it required further consultations, community dialogues, and studies on how the amendments could impact associations, civil society institutions, and citizens, according to the Ministry of Social Development. In a press release issued on Wednesday, the ministry pointed out that it aims to create a qualitative addition to the Associations Law through effective amendments and social compatibility. To ensure this, the ministry requires more time to ensure that the draft meets the needs of the association and communities that benefit from it. The ministry added that appointed committee meetings and partner meetings will all stop but ensured they will continue to receive proposals and suggestions. Suggestions and observations from civil society organizations, bodies, associations, and citizens that could enrich the amendments are welcomed to be made through the website of the association registration http://www.societies.gov.jo.
