Jordan: Policy Advising and Capacity Building
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is an emerging economy. Yet, Jordan is in an increasingly volatile part of the world and faces extreme environmental and resource constraints, posing real challenges to the country’s progress. The nation’s leaders are focused on an agenda of sustained economic and social development. The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) invited CGSD, in partnership with the Institute for Sustainable Development Practice (ISDP) at the Columbia University Middle East Research Center (CUMERC) in Amman to:
• Design and facilitate a capacity-building program for development professionals and government leaders equipping them to approach regional development challenges in an integrated and holistic way
• Provide background analysis and policy advisory for the Kingdom’s Poverty Reduction Strategy
