AMMAN — The government of Japan on Wednesday extended to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) Jordan a grant of $612,650 to finance the project titled “Providing humanitarian support to refugees and strengthening the border management capacity of the government of Jordan to enhance border security”, according to an embassy statement.
The announcement came following a roundtable discussion to support Jordan in launching national consultations within the framework of the “Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration”.
The compact was adopted at the UN summit in September 2016 and aims to be the first inter-governmentally negotiated agreement addressing migration issues. The discussion was held in the presence of Shuichi Sakurai, Japan’s ambassador to the Kingdom, as well as Jordanian, IOM and UN officials.
