During the meeting, future projects that will be implemented in the governorate by TAG-Org were discussed.

Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh stressed that TAG-Org is continuously seeking to provide people in the southern region with services that develop their skills and capabilities, noting that by implementing projects in the region, many job opportunities would be created and the Jordanian economy as a whole would be benefited.

For his part, Dr. Mahameed expressed his happiness that the governorate will benefit from the experience of TAG-Org, one of the worlds largest organizations.

He added that after acquiring results from the projects and services TAG-Org has already provided in the region, "we are asking for more projects as considered appropriate by TAG-Org, noting that because the southern region concerns Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh, he invited us to discuss what more can be done."

Completed projects by TAG-Org in the governorate of Tafila include: a knowledge station at Zaha Cultural Center, another station at Tafila Police Directorate, a training and capacity building center at Snowball Foundation, and a cooperation project with All Jordan Youth in the fields of teaching English language and SME development.

Projects under construction include: Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Studies and Research Center for the Development of the Governorate of Tafila at the headquarters of Tafila Technical University, and the project of online employing competencies at TAG-Org.

Additionally, TAG-Org has been able to provide Tafila Technical University with internationally recognized professional and technical programs in a short period of time. Moreover, a proposal on the technical requirements needed for linking youth with the job market has been submitted.

The meeting between Dr. Al-Mahameed and Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh was to study the possibility of further cooperation to provide more projects and services that serve the people in the governorate of Tafila.

In response to His Majesty King Abdullah II’s directives, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh started to launch development projects in the southern region from the city of Maan. Since the middle of last year, Maan has been one of the most prominent stations that received projects and services to serve the people in the region and promote investments there.

During a short period of time, TAG-Org has been able to provide many services to the city of Maan. Furthermore, a special meeting was held at Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Forum to consult on providing more services according to the needs of the region.
