The project, with an estimated cost of 1.5 million Jordanian dinars ($2.1 million), will be implemented over the next five years, from 2026 to 2030.

The decision reflects the government's commitment to providing services and easing burdens for citizens, especially people with disabilities, a statement by the Prime Ministry said.

A technical committee will be formed to set clear standards for implementing the project and determining the conditions for eligibility.

The committee will include representatives from the ministries of Energy, Social Development, and the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
