Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to bank's website, the approved project aims to support the Government of Jordan in scaling up implementation of the National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS) 2025-2033. Building on the foundations established under the initial FCDO-financed operation, the Additional Financing will strengthen integrated social protection systems through the expansion and operationalization of the Jordan Social Registry, enhanced interoperability across government programs, and strengthened data governance and digital delivery systems. The operation will further support the professionalization of social work and social service delivery, strengthen adaptive and shock-responsive social protection systems, and enhance institutional capacity for implementation, monitoring, and evidence-based policymaking. Through targeted investments in digital innovation, capacity building, coordination mechanisms, and technical assistance, the operation will contribute to a more integrated, efficient, inclusive, and resilient social protection system capable of responding effectively to evolving social, economic, and climate-related challenges.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF THE WORLD BANK

The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. Information on how to file a complaint and a complaint request form are available at: https://www.inspectionpanel.org/how-to-file-complaint
