Within this context, the joint project between the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Jordan and the WANA Institute was established to support informed policy development and constructive engagement around Jordan’s reform trajectory. Throughout 2025, selected researchers produced seven original research papers. Developed through a competitive call for papers, collaborative workshops, and rigorous peer review, the collection offers grounded, policy-relevant analysis aligned with Jordan’s current socio-economic priorities. The research papers are titled as follows:
1. The Role of Civil Society Organisations as Sites for Knowledge Production in Jordan by Dr Yara Shaban
2. From Classroom to Community: Leveraging Social Studies Education for Long-Term and Inclusive Economic Growth by Salma Nasser
3. Men’s Participation in Jordan’s Early Childhood Education and Care Sector: Barriers, Opportunities, and Policy Directions by Oraib Abu-Raideh
4. Embedding Social Justice in Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision – A Rights-Based Analysis by Sara Abu Omarah
5. Capacity for Change: Strategic Pathways to Scale Climate- Smart Agriculture in Jordan by Salsabeal Abo- Thrais
6. Unlocking Green Finance Instruments for Jordan’s Energy Transition by Samer Al-Fakhouri
7. The Energy Transition in Jordan: Policy Lessons from Germany and the EU by Sanad Al-Quran
This compilation brings together diverse perspectives and critical insights intended to contribute to ongoing national discussions surrounding the Economic Modernisation Vision. By fostering inclusive dialogue between researchers, policymakers, and international partners, the project underscores a shared commitment to ensuring that research informs action and that sustainable reform is shaped through participation, reflection, and cooperation.
