Karak, Jan. 28 (Petra) – The Greater Karak Municipality on Wednesday received two garbage trucks under the Japanese Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) program.

Head of the Karak Municipal Committee Mohammad Manaseer said the municipality received the trucks through a Japanese grant valued at $122,000, following the completion of all administrative and technical procedures. He underscored the municipality’s commitment to translating international grants and support into tangible service projects that directly benefit residents.

Manaseer expressed appreciation to the Japanese Embassy, noting the municipality’s pride in the strong and ongoing partnership between the two sides.

Japanese Ambassador to Jordan Asari Hideki said the grant contributes to building a better future for the local community in Karak and helps provide a healthier environment.

Japan has provided more than $10.57 million in funding for 161 projects benefiting non-governmental organizations, schools, hospitals, and municipalities across Jordan since 1993 through the GGP program.
