AMMAN (JT) - Jordan and France signed on Tuesday a 1.56 million euro grant agreement to support the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund.
The fund, which comes under the renewable energy draft law, expected to be passed by Parliament in its current session, is to be an independent body with a board comprising officials from the private and public sectors and a budget provided by donor countries coordinated by the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation.
The agreement was signed by Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Suhair Al-Ali, French Ambassador in Amman Denys Gauer and Director of the French Agency for Development in Amman Gerard Larose.
Referring to His Majesty King Abdullah's vision and support for renewable energy, the minister reviewed efforts exerted with several donor countries to support the sector.
