World Bank: Jordan surpasses social goals
A recent report by the World Bank has shown that Jordan has made significant progress in implementing the "Flexible and Sustainable Social Protection Program" ahead of 2029, exceeding the final targets set for 2029 in many performance indicators. As of June 2026, the number of beneficiaries of non-cash social services reached 59,007 people, surpassing the targeted goal of 20,000. Additionally, 33,797 women and 41,014 youth benefited from the same program. Moreover, the number of beneficiaries of productive inclusion programs more than doubled, and the number of licensed social workers reached 1,296, exceeding the final objective. On the cash assistance front, approximately 950,000 individuals benefited from cash interventions, with 210,837 households covered by cash transfer programs. The report indicates that the rapid progress has led to a review and update of targets in the upcoming review, while efforts to expand the services in the social registry continue.
