Salt Development Coordination

Based on the city inhabitants' initiatives to do more for their hometown the Salt Development Cooperation was established.

The institute was originally established as a voluntary effort governed by its management board, its executive committee and its volunteers committee.

On May 23rd 1982 the Board of the Prime Ministers approved the establishment of this organization, as an entity designed to develop the basic public services needed fir the city and its people. The organization was to build projects that were volunteer based. These projects were to be funded through the income gained by the entity from imitation fees, yearly subscriptions and grants.

Based on the success of this initiative the Board of the Prime Ministers decided to transport this innovative idea to other cities in Jordan.

The Association was a big help for the Municipality, for it provided technical, financial, and administrative support to it. Its management board conducted joint meetings with the leading figures from the municipality, and it was during these meetings that issues related to goal setting and project management were discussed.
