MDTF Programs

MDTF Funded / Supported Programs

As a result of the generous contribution from the governments of the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, Canada and Norway the MDTF is able to generate client driven proposal development which focus on the Government of Jordan’s (GoJ) priority areas of the Reform Matrix to support the inclusive, sustainable economic growth and jobs creation.

Proposals ensure identification of both GoJ accountable counterpart and responsible counterparts to support implementation and sustainment of reform work. In addition, at the time of writing proposals, task team leaders who develop proposals also consider recipient requirements to support implementation and sustainment of the reform work after advisory and analytic services are provided and ensure these requirements are considered at the time of proposal development. In this way the Jordan Growth MDTF considers the life cycle requirements in the reform process to ensure longevity of the work well beyond initial engagement from the donors and bank.
