Speaking at the seminar held at the Institute of Public Administration (IPA), Governmental Coordinator for Human Rights, Nazir Awamleh, underlined the importance of training in preparation for launching a unified platform on human rights issues.

The e-platform is a key achievement of Jordan's human rights file, which coincides with its celebration of the state's centennial, Awmaleh added.

The Fourth NAP Commitment is part of Jordan's Open Government Partnership Initiative (OGP), launched by the MOPIC, aims to create a unified national complaints mechanism for human rights violations, Momani added.

Current training, Momani noted, seeks to build capabilities of the Office and "At Your Service" Platform personnel, to move forward with implementation of the Fourth NAP Commitment.

Momani added that training to approximately 400 employees from various government and national institutions will be completed.
