Implementation Rate: Only 41% of Disbursement-Linked Results (DLRs) have been achieved five years post-approval.
Implementation of the "Inclusive, Transparent, and Climate-Responsive Investments Program for Results" in Jordan, funded by a World Bank loan, reached 41% of total disbursement-linked results. This comes five years after the program’s inception, with a modest increase of only 8 percentage points over the last six months.
The World Bank confirmed that the program achieved tangible financial and operational progress by the end of last year. Total disbursements reached $793.6 million, representing 59% of the program’s total value of $1.35 billion.
An evaluation report by the Bank, translated by Al-Mamlaka, explained that the program—funded by $900 million from the World Bank and $450 million from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)—saw additional results between July and December 2025, which triggered a $130 million disbursement.
Results Breakdown
Out of 44 Disbursement-Linked Results (DLRs):
19 results (43%) have been fully achieved.
14 results (32%) have been partially achieved.
The remaining results are still in progress.
The report noted that while financial progress is evident, it has not yet fully translated into the overall implementation level, which remains limited.
Reform and Climate Milestones
The report recorded progress in several key pillars of the program (approved in June 2021), most notably:
Green Finance: Preparations for issuing a Sovereign Green Bond and the adoption of a National Green Taxonomy.
Capital Expenditure: An increase in government capital spending on climate-responsive projects to support Jordan's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
Emission Reductions: Jordan achieved a cumulative reduction of 812,810 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO₂) from the start of climate commitments in 2016 through the end of 2024.
Regulatory and Transparency Improvements
The report highlighted:
Tourism Sector: Enhancement of the regulatory environment through the adoption of three key regulatory systems.
Investment Facilitation: Providing services for new investment decisions and enhancing evidence-based policymaking via Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) and electronic consultations.
Data Transparency: Improving Jordan’s ranking in the Open Data Inventory (ODIN) from 66 in 2022 to 78 in 2025 by publishing objective analytical reports and simplifying sectoral licensing to reduce compliance costs.
Future Outlook and Restructuring
While the program is scheduled to run until June 30, 2028, the report suggested that all targets might not be met within the current timeframe. Consequently, the World Bank team, in coordination with the Program Management Unit (PMU) and implementing agencies, will evaluate a potential restructuring of the program during 2026 to improve the chances of achieving its developmental goals.
