Jordan unveils early childhood care strategy

Minister of Social Development, Wael Bani Mustafa, revealed that the national plan for the development and care of early childhood in Jordan is close to implementation, expected to be launched either this month or the next after approval by the Council of Ministers. The plan aims to provide an integrated environment for children from pregnancy up to age five, focusing on integrating and developing existing services rather than creating new programs. It emphasizes strengthening family capabilities and equitably expanding community development centers across all governorates. It also seeks to empower women economically by reducing unpaid caregiving burdens at home and facilitating the establishment of nurseries within workplaces, ensuring the quality of these services through training programs and safety standards. This step is part of the government's efforts to develop the early childhood care sector and improve women's participation opportunities in the labor market.
