Informe de resultados de Jordania 2021-2025

Under Jordan’s fifth national plan de acción, government and civil society organizations collaborated to strengthen participación pública in government decision-making and integrity assessments for public institutions. Civil society engagement in the design, review, and monitoring of commitments increased, though levels of CSO participation in implementing reforms varied. Looking ahead, the Jordanian OGP community can use the OGP process to continue strengthening civic space collaboratively.

Implementación

Jordan’s first four-year action plan ended in December 2025. All six commitments were either fully or substantially completed, which is a higher completion level than previous action plans.[ 1 ] Sin embargo, el nivel de resultados tempranos varied across commitments. Some of the uncompleted activities were essential to translate internal reform efforts to further opening government to Jordanians.

The action plan introduced new areas of género, juventudes, and community engagement in public capital and investment projects. Commitments on civil society organization (CSO) governance, e-participation, and public integrity built on prior similar reforms. These ongoing reforms saw the greatest early results.

This report highlights early results in the areas of e-participation and public integrity assessment. Commitment 2 led to the launch of Tawasal, an online portal to operationalize the National E-Participation Policy.[ 2 ] Public institutions across government are now mandated to collect and respond to public input through Tawasal, and evidence of its use was becoming available at the time of assessment.

Commitment 5 led to the development and implementation of a National Integrity Index assessment in partnership with CSOs. The assessments informed institutional integrity action plans. While not yet published, the OGP Point of Contact for Jordan stated findings and recommendations would be published and presented to the King, the Prime Minister, and parliamentary leadership.[ 3 ] Both reforms provided a framework for continued expansion of civic engagement efforts.

Progress was made on the remaining commitments, with results expected if continued in the longer term. Under Commitment 1, government institutions collaborated with CSOs to strengthen the latter’s internal governance and reduce the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF). Implementation contributed to Jordan’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) ‘Grey List’ and improved Jordan’s standing under Recommendation 8 on Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs).[ 4 ] Efforts are expected to continue in the next action plan.

Highlighted as promising in the Action Plan Review, Commitment 3 achieved moderate early results with regard to gender mainstreaming in the public sector. Also noted as promising, Commitment 6 laid solid foundations towards a framework for citizen engagement in public capital investment projects. However, a lack of resources contributed to an inability to pilot the participation methodology during the implementation period.[ 5 ] Compromiso 4 on youth participation made progress despite interruption from the abrupt closure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Participación y Co-Creación

The Multi-Stakeholder Forum (MSF) comprising representatives of government, independent public institutions, and civil society oversees Jordan’s OGP action plans. The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) coordinates action plan design, implementation, and assessment through its Open Government Unit (OGU) and Secretary-General, who also chairs the MSF.[ 6 ]

Action plan design was more inclusive and transparent than previous cycles. The OGU posted public calls to participate in the design and monitoring of commitments and milestones and provided a reasoned response on how input influenced the plan. Commitment working groups consisting of government and civil society representatives developed executive plans for commitments.[ 7 ] This contributed to ownership of commitments among government stakeholders as well as follow up and reporting on progress.

The level of participation during implementation varied across commitments, with engagement led either by implementing institutions, coordinated through OGU or both. To streamline accountability across commitments, the OGU organized annual ‘Accountability Workshops’ where government focal points and CSOs met to review progress.[ 8 ] At the midpoint, the OGU collected public input on amendments to the action plan, which were considered by government and civil society stakeholders in a workshop. Resultantly, milestones were added to several commitments that expanded civil society engagement in reforms.[ 9 ]

Implementación en contexto

Global and regional events had some limited impact on implementation. For instance, closure of USAID halted progress on youth e-participation under Commitment 4 due to a lack of funds. Commitments 1 and 5 aligned with international trends on adopting risk management and prevention. In 2021, Jordan was placed on the FATF’s ‘grey list’ of increased monitoring to implement ML/TF recommended measures in the non-profit sector.[ 10 ] A 2022 national assessment specified charitable aid NPOs as well as NPOs that receive foreign funding as at-risk, highlighting governance gaps.[ 11 ] By October 2023, Jordan addressed the FATF recommendations, including through Commitment 1, and exited the list.[ 12 ] Starting in 2024, Jordan passed the OGP civic space values check[ 13 ] indicators after four consecutive years of falling short.[ 14 ] Work on CSO’s enabling environment will continue in the next action plan,[ 15 ] while another FATF assessment is planned to take place in 2027.
