AMMAN – March 8, 2016 - In the mid of 2015, HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh shifted his focus to the South of the Kingdom starting with Ma'an Governorate by providing services and projects that would serve the region's youth, and promote investments in the area.
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAG-Org) managed in a significantly short period of time to provide different types of services in various fields and work hand in hand with local institutions in providing more services according to the needs of the area which have been discussed during a recent meeting held at Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Forum.
The projects and services aim at serving youth and children, promoting investment in Ma'an, and reflecting the true image of the city. Many other services have been implemented in Ma'an, most prominently is the twining agreement between Greater Ma'an Municipality and Greater Amman Municipality that involves the exchange of expertise and services between the two municipalities, making a quantum leap that would serve the governorate as a whole. Additionally, TAG-Org has established a regional electronic archiving office at Ma'an Development Company, in which all the documents of TAG-Org's 85 offices and 150 epresentative offices around the world are archived.
For Children
TAG-Org has established Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Technical Center for Children Education at Prince Hussein bin Abdullah Cultural Center. The Center aims at providing technology education to all children in the local community, enabling them to use modern educational and electronic products and keep pace with technical education. The Center has been established in response to His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein directives and vision for partnership between public and private sectors.
For Youth
TAG-Org has established knowledge stations in every city in the Kingdom including Ma'an. Several stations have been established, some of them dedicated for youth, such as the station at Al- Hussain bin Talal University that offers Talal Abu-Ghazaleh University's and Abu-Ghazaleh for Professional Training programs and diplomas, and provided computer labs and training facilities, enabling youth to enter the labor market. Two other stations have been established at Qantara Center for Human Resources Development and at All Jordan Youth Commission of King Abdullah II Fund for Development, while the work is underway to establish one more station at Al Hussainiya Municipality.
Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh offered scholarships to a number of students and appointed a group of young men and women to work in the knowledge societies and projects established by TAG-Org. Additionally, TAG-Org is cooperating with Qantara Center in the framework of renewable energy diploma, with the support of the British Embassy.
Given the importance of extracurricular activities for youth, TAG-Org has equipped the multi-purpose hall at Ma'an Youth Club, enabling youth to hold seminars and lectures that serve the local community. TAG-Org also organizes courses in English language, and in the field of SMEs, with the support of King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein Fund, and in cooperation with All Jordan Youth Commission.
