The Jordanian Government has implemented very promising initiatives to help mobilise investment in renewable power. Based on in-house research, literature review, interviews and stakeholder consultations, this report provides non-prescriptive suggestions for Jordanian policy makers to consider in order to enhancing the already robust and comprehensive legislative and regulatory framework for investment in renewable power. The suggestions span all policy areas covered by the Policy Guidance for Investment in Clean Energy Infrastructure. This report also identifies the key challenges faced in each of these areas and proposes concrete measures for addressing them.
Revitalising the contribution of international investment to sustainable development in Jordan is more imperative than ever. While the economy is recovering from a 1.6% GDP contraction in 2020, the COVID-19 crisis has amplified existing socio-economic vulnerabilities. Foreign direct investment (FDI) – an important source of external financing, with the FDI stock-to-GDP ratio exceeding 80% – can help unlock the country’s export potential and drive economic growth. However, the lack of a vibrant private sector, combined with global shocks and regional instability, have gradually eroded Jordan’s performance in attracting foreign investors. At the same time, FDI held up during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Jordan’s FDI inflows growing by 4% in 2020 compared to a drop of 18% across the Middle East and North Africa region – Jordan’s FDI inflows strongly fell in 2021. Furthermore, the proportion of foreign firms in Jordan that permanently closed their doors during 2020 was six times lower than for domestic firms.
Displacement is at a historic high, with over 65 million individuals currently displaced. The world is facing a refugee crisis that is unprecedented in scale. A large number of evaluations look at different aspects of programming in response to refugee crises in developing countries. This paper covers the key areas and priority topics related to forced displacement identified by the Development Assisstance Committee Temporary Working Group on Refugees and Migration. It draws from evaluation findings to highlight key lessons and recommendations for positive change going forward.
Key topics covered in the paper include: lessons on bridging the gap between humanitarian and development programming; efforts to strengthen international response to protracted crises; lessons on whole-of-government approaches in refugee contexts; learning from work in urban settings; improving access to employment and quality education; new financing mechanisms for refugee crises in middle income countries; and lessons on financing in response to the Syria crisis. The paper highlights the evaluation work of DAC members and aims to help strengthen the evidence base to improve response to situations of displacement in developing countries.
