A World Bank delegation will arrive in Amman next week to review and evaluate progress in training and employment projects, funded by the organization, reported the official Petra news agency on Monday. 

The delegation will hold talks with officials at the ministries of planning, labor and education as well as the national center for human resources development, said the agency. 

In January, the private investment arm of the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), announced its decision to invest $15 million in loans and equity that will help make Jordan the center of worldwide luggage manufacturing operations. 

The transaction will create thousands of jobs and give a major boost to Jordan’s export industries, an online press release at that time said – Albawaba.com
