An ambitious economic reform program, laid out in the Jordan 2025: A national vision and strategy report, is intended to revive growth and spur job creation. It includes provisions for significant investments to be made to expand and improve infrastructure. This will create a foundation for competitiveness, provide access to markets and basic services, and help the movement of goods and services along supply chains. The increased productivity and output will also have an important multiplier effect on the economy, leading to reductions in poverty, unemployment, regional imbalances, illiteracy and poor health, all of which inhibit national development. An improved approach to infrastructure would focus on project selection, asset management and financing.Expanding and improving Jordan’s infrastructure stock is a key priority of the Jordan 2025 report. The development of an effective mechanism for the selection and prioritization of infrastructure investments was included in the integrated Public Investment Management (PIM)–Public Private Partnerships (PPP) Governance Framework, which was approved by Cabinet Decision No. 7968 on May 21, 2018. Meanwhile the World Bank’s 2015 Systematic Country Diagnostic for Jordan also included a recommendation to “increase integration of public investment with broader policy objectives,” given limited fiscal space, to ensure that infrastructure investment provides optimal value for money. Meeting Jordan’s infrastructure needs will require the implementation of the PIM-PPP Governance Framework to support efficient use of public financing and the mobilization of private sector financing to supplement public budgets. With regards to asset management, in 2019 the World Bank released a report entitled Beyond the Gap: How Countries Can Afford the Infrastructure They Need while Protecting the Planet. It noted that investing in infrastructure is not enough; maintenance matters. Lessons from Beyond the Gap point to a shift away from spending more, toward spending better on the right infrastructure objectives, particularly adequate operations and maintenance. Structured maintenance, which should be incorporated into PIM-PPP decision-making, can generate substantial savings by reducing the total life-cycle cost of transport infrastructure by more than 50 percent. Executive Summary • 1 Mobilizing private finance via PPPs to meet the country’s infrastructure investment needs will help maximize available finance for development.Jordan has a large pipeline of planned infrastructure investments. In 2017 (latest available data), the Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD) reported that Jordan received US$2.9 billion in official development assistance (ODA), representing 7.2 percent of Jordan’s gross domestic product (GDP) of US$40.1 billion. To supplement ODA and public resources, PPPs are one of the tools available to the GoJ to support the realization of its planned infrastructure investments, within the context of a fiscally sustainable investment program. Based on the GoJ’s interest, as expressed in the 2017 Spring Meetings, and aligned with its Jordan 2025 report, the country was

General Information: 75,000 Visitors Attend Jordan Food Exhibition 2016 Jordan Food Exhibition 2016, which concluded on Sunday June, 5, received over 75,000 visitors. The five-day exhibition, which featured products by 150 factories, wholesalers and retailers, received positive feedback from visitors due to its organization and the caliber of the participating companies. The exhibition was held in Amman at Hussein Youth City, with over 4,000 square meters showcasing what the local food market has to offer. American products dominated many of the exhibits, showcasing a range of products that included rice, poultry cuts, nuts, cheese, and snacks. It was noticeable the strong presence of leading U.S. brands vying for market share in Jordan’s highly competitive environment, especially those of processed foods, cheese, and rice. Fruit and Vegetable Farmers’ Plight Continues Despite a pick-up in demand of fruit and vegetables (F&V) due to high demand during the holy month of Ramadan, prices continue to remain low as farmers are unable to shrug off excess supply due to the border closings in the neighboring countries, as war continues to wreak havoc. The Chairman of Jordan Valley Farmers Association has called for farmers to abstain producing F&V after an annus horribilis that left them with nothing but debts, and minimal government support.

  • Thematic Assessment Report Livelihoods,Employment
    LIVELIHOODS, EMPLOYMENT AND TENSIONS IN JORDANIAN COMMUNITIES HOSTING SYRIAN REFUGEES THEMATIC ASSESSMENT REPORT JUNE 2014 Livelihoods, Employment and Tensions in Jordanian Communities Hosting Syrian Refugees - June 2014 SUMMARY With the protracted Syrian crisis extending into its fourth year, the conflict continues to force millions of Syrians to seek refuge in the neighbouring countries of Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Turkey. These host countries are bearing the brunt of the crisis, which represents the largest refugee exodus in recent history with a total of 2,863,595 registered refugees now living outside of Syria.1 Since 2011, approximately 600,000 Syrians have crossed the border into Jordan, putting immense strain on already scarce resources, and intensifying competition for basic services. The vast majority of these refugees do not reside in camps, but are hosted by Jordanian communities,2 where limited opportunities, a lack of resources and inadequate living space present a challenge to social cohesion and community resilience. In Jordan, few comprehensive studies have been conducted to provide an in-depth understanding of the key drivers of host community tensions. To address this information gap, this multi-sectoral REACH assessment aimed at identifying where tensions have emerged across northern Jordan as a result of the Syrian refugee crisis, and how they could be mitigated through social cohesion and resilience programming. In the shift from humanitarian relief to long-term development, the assessment aims to promote and inform the mainstreaming of a ‘Do No Harm’ approach in the response provided to conflict-affected populations residing in Jordanian host communities. Sectors assessed included: education, external support, healthcare, livelihoods, municipal services, shelter and water.
