Daring More Democracy in Jordan

But the country's modernization can only succeed if the state has confidence in its citizens.

The KAS-WANA Think Tank School will provide participants with the space, skills, and expertise to co-create their learning trajectory as policy analysts. The participants will then present their work in a reception in December 2023 to Jordanian and international stakeholders organised by KAS and WANA.
