Conclusions, lessons learned and recommendations

Since 1998, UNDP country programmes have contributed significantly to Jordan’s economic and social development at several levels. Despite Jordan’s continued vulnerability to external shocks, the country has undertaken serious steps toward political and public administration reform, in which UNDP assistance and support are clearly evident. UNDP has also been influential in leveraging bilateral support and funding from other donors, particularly where the government and international donors’ interests converge—such as in preparing Jordan for joining the WTO and in the general liberalization of the economy.
