    Access to natural resources, notably to safe drinking water, will be another key aspect for long term stability. Jordan and the EU will continue to cooperate to further improve the efficiency and sustainability of management of water resources.
    Prevention and countering of terrorism and violent extremism
    and radicalisation must remain high on the agenda. In that view and complementing regular political and thematic dialogue, the EU and Jordan will intensify concrete co-operation and information sharing to address these challenges within the rule of law and in full respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms. The EU and Jordan will work together in fighting the root causes of radicalisation, terrorism and violent extremism having regard to social cohesion, the important role of women and youth and of education, including through mutually agreed education programmes and the involvement of a broad scope of Jordanian civil society.
    The EU and Jordan have also established a framework for the participation of Jordan in EU
    crisis management operations
    , which is another example of the close cooperation on security issues that can be built upon.

    PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC STABILITY, A GREEN, DIGITAL, INCLUSIVE AND KNOWLEDGE-BASED GROWTH, QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND DECENT JOB CREATION

    The Syria crisis and the protracted refugee presence it caused have heavily impacted the economic situation of Jordan, its scarce natural resources and the provision of basic services exacerbating an already challenging economic situation. The COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly aggravated socio-economic challenges, vulnerabilities and inequalities.
    Economic dialogue, reforms and cooperation on macro-economic issues
    will therefore be further developed and implemented with a view to promoting sound macro-economic and structural policies that foster sustainable and inclusive growth potential, increase the resilience of the Jordanian economy to economic shocks and enhance the sustainability of public finances in coordination with multilateral and bilateral donors. Efforts to preserve macro-economic stability should continue in the context of the revised International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme and Jordan’s commitments with the international community following the London Conference in 2019 and Jordan’s Reform Matrix. The EU is sustaining such efforts through its cooperation assistance, as well as via substantial macro-financial assistance programmes.
    Besides sound fiscal and budgetary management, cooperation will be further pursued on
    reforms in Jordan's public sector
    in view of improving public finance management, but also its overall efficiency and service delivery capacities.
    A main socio-economic challenge for Jordan, inter alia as a result of protracted regional crises, is unequal access to employment, including for women and youth, low economic growth, high unemployment, and growing debt. This ought to be overcome by creating decent work, supporting entrepreneurship and innovation - in particular in the green, digital and social economy - developing skills and qualifications - by fostering targeted training, education and research - and by developing a targeted and comprehensive social protection system. The Partnership Priorities aim to address this by applying various policy tools: trade; business development; education, training and lifelong learning; increased mobility. The aim across these instruments is also to strengthen the economic empowerment and participation of all segments of society.
