November 2000 The Jordan Industrial Estates Corporation approved a feasibility study for the Aqaba Industrial City project. The corporation also completed studies and designs for the construction of industrial cities in Ma'an, al-Mafraq, and the Queen Alia International Airport area, near Amman. The Jordan Engineers Association (JEA) organized its first engineering competition for graduation projects at Jordanian Universities. A committee of university academicians, practicing architects and engineers, and representatives from JEA evaluated the projects, which the participating universities nominated. Prizes were awarded in the different fields of engineering, which include architecture. CDG (the Community Development Group Engineering and Management Associates), in association with the Cambridge, Massachusetts based policy research firm Abt Associates, completed a Primary Health Care Facility Survey for the Jordanian Ministry of Health. The survey is part of the Primary Health Care Initiatives (PHCI) program that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is funding in order to improve health care resources in Jordan. The survey investigated the condition of 377 primary and comprehensive health care buildings and examined the services provided by them. The outcome of this survey provides comprehensive information that would help the Ministry of Health and the PHCI project to select the health centers targeted for renovation and upgrading.
