According to a JHCO statement on Sunday reported by
the Jordan News Agency, Petra, Secretary-General Hussein Shibli and the Chargé
d’Affairs at the Japanese Embassy, Netsu Shuntaro, signed the agreement.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Shibli said this
is not the first time that JHCO has received support from the Japanese
government.
He said that today’s grant is an extension of the
assistance provided to the organization in 2017 to raise the level of its
storage capacities, upgrade equipment quality, and improve its warehouses’
capabilities to absorb aid items.
“It is a great pride for us that JHCO and the
Japanese government are following the same approach, carrying out humanitarian
work and delivering various aids, and securing our warehouses with an
appropriate environment to preserve and store materials until their
distribution,” he said.
Meanwhile, Shuntaro said the new equipment will
enable JHCO to store a larger amount of aid parcels in warehouses, and improve
the operational efficiency of loading and unloading supplies.
The grant aims to raise JHCO’s capacity and
facilitate work in its warehouses in the Zarqa governorate, and enhance the
capacity of aid storage by providing goods handling and storage equipment, the
statement noted.
Japan, under the framework of its grants for human
security projects at the grass-roots level, has provided more than $10 million
for 154 projects for NGOs, schools, hospitals and municipalities in Jordan
since 1993.
