National Service in Jordan: From Security Experience to a Comprehensive National Project
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II announced the reactivation of the National Service program. This step aims to prepare young Jordanians to serve their country and strengthen their sense of belonging and national identity. The Crown Prince noted that those who experienced the program before understand its value in discipline and responsibility.
Based on his directives, the government began working with the Armed Forces to develop the program. A clear timeline was set, and funding was allocated from the emergency budget, with plans to include it in the 2026 budget. Legal adjustments are also being prepared to ensure that the program is institutional and sustainable.
According to the government, the new program has two paths. The first is military, designed to build discipline and teamwork through basic training. The second is educational, giving participants skills and knowledge that strengthen their awareness and character. Details of these stages will be announced during implementation.
These elements show that the program is more than security and military training. It can also be an economic and social tool if developed well. Global experiences prove that such programs can support national development and create real opportunities for youth to learn and contribute to their societies.
The Jordanian program can expand into key fields like digital skills, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, renewable energy, and climate action. It can also promote community service and volunteering, which strengthen solidarity and national unity. Training in local industries and technology sectors can link participants directly with the labor market.
The program gains more value if connected with Jordan’s Economic Modernization Vision 2033. This link can open doors for youth in green economy, technology, and entrepreneurship. It would turn national service into a platform for preparing a generation able to lead economic transformation and compete in global markets.
By combining these paths, national service can shift from a short-term duty to a long-term investment. It will balance security with development and build strong human capital. The program can become a national success story, leaving a deep impact on Jordan’s future and giving the country a stronger regional position. This is possible through the wise leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein, and the efforts of the government.
Thank you to His Majesty the King, to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and to the government.
