Jordan and Germany seal 96.5M euro funding agreements
The Jordanian Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation has signed two funding agreements with the German Reconstruction Bank (KfW) totaling 96.5 million euros to support the education and water sectors in Jordan. The first agreement is a grant of 36.5 million euros to finance the third phase of the program "Accelerating Syrian Refugee Children’s Access to Formal Education," aimed at ensuring continued educational opportunities and alleviating pressure on Jordan's educational system. The second agreement provides 60 million euros for the project "Climate Adaptation and Protection," intended to enhance the sustainability of water supplies by rehabilitating the water pipeline from Azraq to Ho//, and reducing groundwater salinity. These agreements are part of a broader development partnership between Jordan and Germany, following the announcement in July 2026 of a development aid package worth 684 million euros for the years 2026 and 2027, aimed at improving the education and water sectors and providing support in other areas. The government affirms that German support is focused on delivering quality education for vulnerable populations and strengthening water supply security, amid challenges related to water scarcity and hosting Syrian refugees.
