Amman, Oct. 12 (Petra) – Minister of Government Communication
Mohammad Momani said on Monday that youth and community initiatives
serve as a practical model for active development, helping translate
local needs into tangible projects.

Momani, meeting with the Center for Sustainable Development Brokers
in Ajloun, called for building a supportive environment that enables
young entrepreneurs to develop and sustain their initiatives.

Sustainable development relies on integrated collaboration among
government entities, local communities, civil society organizations,
and the private sector, according to the minister. He added that
empowering this partnership creates broader opportunities and
capitalizes on the unique economic advantages of Jordan’s
governorates.

Turning to community media, he urged investing in human capital and
leveraging digital platforms to help media institutions adapt to
rapid technological shifts while maintaining their professional and
social mission.

Echoing these views, Ministry Secretary-General Zaid Nawaiseh
described local radio stations in the governorates as comprehensive
media platforms that drive regional development.

He said that community radio supports primary sectors such as
agriculture, tourism, vocational training, and cultural exchange,
making its continuity essential for amplifying citizens’ voices.

The Center for Sustainable Development Brokers representatives, for
their part, called for greater political and media empowerment for
youth, advocating for wider participation in public decision-making
and funding for interactive media platforms.

The delegation called on the government to accelerate the
establishment of fully equipped technology hubs in outer governorates
to build youth skills in technology, civic participation, and job
market readiness.

They recommended expanding specialized, cost-free digital media and
content-creation training programs for students and recent graduates
to improve their practical experience and career prospects.
