WB Loan to Jordan

"The World Bank today approved a $15 million loan to support the Government of Jordan to strengthen the capacity of the civil service to carry out the national program of reforms. The Public Sector Reform Capacity-Building will assist the government in strategic staffing in key agencies involved in administrative reform and providing training to ensure the civil service can actively manage the reform process."

"The proposed project seeks to advance Jordan's broad program of civil service reforms by hiring staff, providing goods and equipment, as well as technical assistance to government agencies responsible for carrying out an ambitious public sector reform program. The project will also support the timely implementation of reforms in range of areas from policy coordination to improved financial and human resource practice."
