JORDAN
Development program
a first
The Government of Jordan has conducted its first Civil Servant Development Program.
   The program aims to teach participants skills in management, leadership and economic policy and was organised by the King Abdullah II Fund for Development in partnership with the Inspirational Development Group (UK), and was co-sponsored by Jordan Dubai Capital (JD Capital).
   Thirty Public Servants participated in the program, which consisted of three training workshops conducted by IDG.
   Director General of the King Abdullah II Fund for Development, Tarik Awad said the training program was in line with directives from His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein.
   Mr Awad said the program aimed to develop “the public sector, the skills of its employees and the services provided to citizens.”
   “The fund aims to execute several training programs on different levels in order to promote Jordan’s position as a training centre for leaders and reflecting our efforts towards creating public-private partnerships in a manner that positively impacts sustainable development,” Mr Awad said
   Acting Chief Executive of JD Capital, Ismail Tahboub said the company supported the program in a bid to enhance the skills of Jordanian PS employees and create effective partnerships between the public and private sectors.
   The King Abdullah II Fund for Development was established by a Royal Decree in 2001 as a non-governmental organisation, with the aim of achieving social and economic developmental goals in Jordan.
