Through collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development, Social Security Corporation, Department of Statistics, and Ministry of Labour, the joint programme           played a key role in supporting the implementation of the National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS) and its update for 2025-2033. Key milestones included:

• The establishment and the institutionalization of the NSPS Implementation Support Unit (ISU) at the Ministry of Social Development and the creation and operationalization of the national task forces for each of the pillars of the NSPS.

• The support to key priorities of the NSPS 2019-2025, including the issuing of the new Social Development Law #4/2024, which paves the way for the professionalization of the social workforce.

• Launching Jordan’s first Statistical Bulletin on Social Protection and the development of the first Social Protection Public Expenditure Review for Jordan.

• Ensuring a robust process for the update of the NPS and its alignment with the Economic Modernization Vision, through evidence generation, policy development and a wide and comprehensive consultation process, which involved the 12 governorates of Jordan and different sectors of the Jordanian society and economy.

The joint programme placed over 1,600 individuals in decent jobs and equipped thousands more through market-aligned skills training, career counselling, and employment services. Special emphasis was placed on inclusion in high-growth sectors like digital services, healthcare, and renewable energy. The joint programme streamlined work permit procedures, enhanced gender-responsive services, and expanded sectors open to refugee employment. Interventions included support for home-based work, childcare services, and institutional reforms like the 2024 Social Development Law—modernizing social service delivery for the first time in 70 years.
