A dedicated chapter on financing the implementation of the National Development Agenda of Jordan and the SDGs
Objective
To highlight the mechanisms supporting the implementation of the national development agenda and the SDGs, in line with the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and the priorities reinforced through the Sevilla Commitment.
Overview
The 2026 VNR includes a chapter that provides the operational framework through which Jordan is advancing the implementation of its Economic Modernisation Vision and the 2030 Agenda. It explains the mechanisms that support the development outcomes and priorities identified in the VNR and that are needed to accelerate progress towards the SDGs and the national development objectives by 2030.
The chapter is organized around six action areas of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and draws on the Sevilla Commitment (2025) and the Pact for the Future (2024) to frame the country’s approach to financing and implementing sustainable development.
The six action areas of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda addressed in the chapter are: domestic public resources; private business and finance; international development cooperation; international trade; science, technology and innovation; and addressing systemic issues. The action area on debt and debt sustainability is not presented as a stand-alone section and is addressed mainly under the discussion of systemic issues.
The analysis under the action areas of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda follows a broadly consistent framework that reviews progress, identifies priorities for acceleration, linkages across development pillars, and implications for future implementation and financing. Some action areas include additional dimensions specific to their subject matter, such as South-South and triangular cooperation, or the international financing context and the positioning of Jordan within it.
A notable feature of the chapter is the synthesis matrix, which maps the action areas of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda against the five-pillar framework used in the VNR to present SDG outcomes and development priorities. It highlights the contribution of each action area to these priorities and the key interlinkages across sectors.
