Confirming its role as one of Jordan’s main supporters, the European Union (EU) signed today two financing agreements with the Government of Jordan providing up to €64 million in the form of budget support.
The first agreement provides €39-million to the “EU support to the Rule of Law in Jordan” programme in support of the Ministry of Justice, Judicial Council, Judicial Institute and Public Security Directorate. This financing aims at consolidating the rule of law and justice institutions in Jordan, their effectiveness, transparency, accountability and accessibility, in line with best standards and practices.
The second financing agreement provides a €25-million top-up to the “Green Growth” programme from the EU’s Food and Resilience Facility (FRF) that will support Jordan with the implementation of its Food Security Strategy and Action Plan, and assist in addressing the impact on global food security due to Russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine.
