BDC promotes entrepreneurial initiatives for youth in Thiban

AMMAN — The Business Development Centre (BDC) has conducted several sessions discussing entrepreneurial ideas in cooperation with Thiban municipality in Madaba Governorate for a group of youth to stimulate employment. 

The projects are carried out through the optimal investment of available resources in the Thiban region and their transformation into pilot income-generating projects that provide employment opportunities for youth, according to a BDC statement.

The BDC has met with more than 50 youth in Thiban who have many ideas in various sectors with the aim of turning them into sustainable productive projects. 

These projects fall within the field of environment, modern agriculture, tourism, and commercial and service activities that the local market lacks in Thiban.

Thiban Mayor Nasr Al Rawahneh, expressed support for the area’s youth and their projects. 

“The municipality is ready to provide means of assistance to Thiban residents and youth support agencies to realise sustainable development projects,” he said during a meeting.

The meeting is part of a series of partnerships that the centre holds with several municipalities across the Kingdom and is within the programmes implemented in cooperation with regional and local organisations.

The BDC provides services, including indirect financial grants for aspiring young entrepreneurs. The centre also purchases tools and equipment required for projects, trains and develops financial and technical capacities for budding entrepreneurs.
