The World Bank Group has approved two new programs worth $700 million to enhance human capital in Jordan through targeted investments in education, health, and social aid. The Human Capital Program and the MASAR Program aim to boost sustainable growth, improve education quality, provide youth with essential skills, and support vulnerable families in Jordan.
The programs address challenges such as limited access to quality education, high rates of non-communicable diseases, and gaps in social protection coverage. By investing in education, health, and social protection, Jordan can empower its youth and women, enhance economic resilience, and promote inclusive growth.
The Human Capital Program focuses on strengthening governance in social sectors, while the MASAR Program aims to equip Jordanian youth with skills for the labor market. These programs align with Jordan’s reform priorities and will contribute to the country’s long-term development.
With a focus on improving education systems, enhancing workforce skills, and supporting vulnerable populations, the World Bank’s initiatives in Jordan aim to build a resilient and thriving society for the future.
