Second phase of World Bank project on social adaptation in Madaba launched

AMMAN — The World Bank-funded project on municipal services for social adaptation on Wednesday organised two separate meetings with local women and youth in Madaba to listen to the local community’s needs and priorities.

Under the second phase of the project, the World Bank allocated JD327,000 to the Greater Madaba Municipality to implement projects serving the local community and Syrian refugees, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The project aims to help municipalities of host communities in providing required services and reduce the burdens imposed by the growing demand on these services.

The first phase of the project included a grant of JD800,000 mostly spent on streets’ reconstruction.
