Special features
The project in Jordan was extraordinary and impressive in many ways:
The World Bank’s project financing presented us with new and unexpected challenges.
The project participants came from 7 countries (Germany, South Africa, Norway, Jordan, Portugal, Romania and Bulgaria) – i.e. prejudices had to be overcome, acceptance had to be created and a team had to be formed.
And very important for our work:
We have learned to understand and accept the historical and cultural values of the inhabitants of this region.
