Through targeted interventions focused on improving systems and processes, such as human resources, budgeting, planning, and monitoring and evaluation, the program aims to enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Ministries of Education and Youth. The success of these efforts will be evidenced by improved coordination among agencies, transparent resource allocation, and timely policy implementation, ultimately leading to better outcomes for Jordan’s children and youth.

To ensure that the partner Ministries have the resources needed to operationalize the program goals above, TAP supports the Ministy of Education and the Ministry of Youth to identify, budget for, develop and procure materials and logistics utilizing its own financial resources, or those provided by USAID, in order to build capacity and sustainability.
