Reform Secretariat | MoPIC

What Reform Secretariat | MoPIC does

Reform Secretariat is a government coordination body established in late 2019 within Jordan's Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC), following the launch of the Reform Matrix at the London Initiative Conference in February 2019. Its mandate is to facilitate, coordinate, and support the implementation of economic and structural reforms across 12 pillars (fiscal policy, public sector governance, business environment, investment and trade, access to finance, labor market, social safety nets, transportation, energy, water, agriculture, and tourism), tracking more than 300 reform actions at an overall 82% completion rate. The secretariat operates with a lean team of 16 staff and is funded through the Jordan Inclusive Growth and Economic Opportunities Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF), administered by the World Bank and co-chaired by MoPIC, with contributing governments from the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Norway, Switzerland (joined Q4 2025), and previously the United Kingdom (until February 2025).

The secretariat's core deliverables are policy and program coordination rather than commercial products. Its primary offerings include the Reform Matrix framework, a portfolio of World Bank-supported Programs for Results (PforR) and Development Policy Financing (DPF) operations totaling over US$4 billion (including a US$1,450M Equitable Growth DPF, a US$1,350M Climate Responsive Investments PforR, a US$549.58M People-Centric Digital Government PforR, a US$400M Growth and Competitiveness DPF, a US$400M Economic Opportunities PforR, a US$226M Women Economic Opportunities operation, and a US$29.4M Strengthening Reform Management grant), the Tawasal E-Participation Portal for public consultations, and six formal Reform Working Groups co-chaired with relevant line ministries. There is no proprietary technology stack; the entity relies on standard government coordination mechanisms, working group convenings, and digital engagement platforms.

As a non-commercial government entity, Reform Secretariat does not generate revenue or sell products and services. Its economic model is institutional: it serves as the convening hub linking the Government of Jordan, development partners, line ministries, the private sector, and citizens. Its stakeholders include the World Bank and donor governments (financial partners), ministries such as MoITS, MoTA, MoIN, MoPIC, CBJ, Jordan Customs, GPD, GTD, and the Legislation and Opinion Bureau (implementation and co-development partners), as well as Jordanian businesses and citizens as ultimate beneficiaries of the reform outcomes.
