The World Bank announced that 41.54% of the total funding for the Private Sector Employment and Skills Support Project in Jordan has been disbursed, amounting to $46.52 million out of a total of $112 million, according to a recent project evaluation report. The report stated that the Government of Jordan and the World Bank agreed to extend the project’s implementation period—known locally as the National Employment Program—from the end of 2025 to July 31, 2028. This extension follows a restructuring in August 2025 aimed at expanding the project’s scope and enhancing its impact on employment. According to the report, the project has benefited more than 55,000 people across various governorates as of the end of August, nearly half of whom are women (51%), while approximately 12% are beneficiaries of the National Aid Fund.
