The program had a satisfactory start and began to deliver measurable results in improving beneficiary outcomes and strengthening systems, with progress in implementation and achievement of the program's development goal being classified as satisfactory, according to an evaluation report of the program.
The report confirmed that key government actions were launched across all outcome areas, reflecting a clear commitment to program implementation, along with strengthening institutional arrangements.
In addition, the report noted that work has begun on transitional arrangements for the complaints mechanism to ensure its effectiveness and responsiveness during the transition period, supporting timely handling of complaints and maintaining stakeholder engagement, including in sensitive cases.
The report explained that the National Aid Fund completed the adoption of the Economic Empowerment Policy Paper with a detailed action plan, and this step was completed in December 2025, while the Jordanian Social Registry (JSR) was expected to be launched by the Ministry of Social Development by June 2026, after it was scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025.
Also, the program aims to enhance Jordan’s ability to respond to shocks, while improving the support provided to the most vulnerable segments of the population.
