Empowering Youth and Building Trust in Jordan
With a share of 36%, youth (aged 12-30) represent more than one-third of the total
population in Jordan. Public governance is critical for supporting youth’s transition
to full autonomy and providing opportunities for their participation in economic,
social and public life. The COVID-19 has hit young people in Jordan hard and has underlined
the importance of access to high-quality public services and to opportunities to participate
in decision making. This report provides an analysis of the governance arrangements
put in place by the Government of Jordan to deliver youth-responsive policy outcomes
with a focus on five areas: 1) Jordan’s National Youth Strategy 2019-25, 2) Institutional
capacities of the Ministry of Youth, 3) Governance tools to mainstream youth’s considerations
in policy making and service delivery, 4) Youth participation and representation in
public life and 5) Youth-responsive legal frameworks.
