CIDA contributes more than $3 million to develop system

The Canadian International Development Agency is giving Jordan $3.16 million Cdn to help finance the second stage of a joint Jordanian-Canadian project for the development of computer systems to measure human resources in the Mideast nation.

John Holmes, Canada’s ambassador to Jordan, signed the agreement with Bassem Awadallah, Jordan’s planning minister, according to a report in the Jordan Times.

The Times report said Canada has given Jordan about $35 million Cdn over the last five years to help finance different development endeavours.
