Current Action Plan
2021-2025
Action Plan 5
- Number of Commitments: 6
- Policy Area Focus: Not specified
Jordan joined the OGP in 2011. This report assesses the design of Jordan’s fifth action plan. The action plan consists of six commitments, with half carried forward from past action plans. Based on the previous action plan, one commitment aims to implement the civil society governance guide published, with a new focus on terrorist financing; another develops on a government public feedback portal initiative to introduce a new portal for public comments on draft laws and regulations. A commitment also builds on the second action plan, with a wider effort to introduce integrity measures for government, civil society, and the private sector. The action plan’s other commitments center on the emerging areas of youth policy, gender mainstreaming, and public participation in government capital investment projects. (More)
