Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation

What Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation does

MoPIC is the Jordanian government ministry responsible for national development planning and international development cooperation. It is the designated coordinating body between the Government of Jordan and external development partners — bilateral donors (Germany, UK, Saudi Arabia, Japan), multilateral institutions (European Union, EBRD, Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, Adaptation Fund), and UN agencies (UNHCR) — and holds statutory authority over foreign-financing approvals for NGOs, cooperatives, and civil society organizations operating in the country. The ministry prepares and monitors Jordan's national development plans, most recently the Second Executive Program of the Economic Modernization Vision 2026-2029 (covering 392 projects with a combined cost of 3.8 billion Jordanian dinars), and runs the 12-pillar Economic Reform Matrix via its Economic Reform Support Unit established in late 2019.

Its core operational products are policy and coordination services rather than commercial offerings: national development plans and executive programs, the National Projects Registry System (Regulation No. 8 of 2024) covering government investment projects and public-private partnerships, foreign-financing coordination and approval, the Climate Change Adaptation Program (financed under its Adaptation Fund accreditation, renewed through February 5, 2031), and reporting outputs including economic indicators, foreign-financing reports, and Voluntary National Reviews on SDG implementation. Visible 2026 financing flows coordinated through the ministry include €135 million from the EU, ~$189 million from the Arab Fund, €127 million cumulative German support for the National Water Carrier, $98 million cumulative from the Saudi Fund for Princess Basma Hospital, and £5.3 million from the UK, alongside earlier EBRD financing for the Aqaba Digital City project.

The business model is that of a government ministry: MoPIC is funded through the Jordanian state budget and is operationally non-commercial — no pricing model applies to its core governmental functions, no equity or debt instruments are issued, and the entity is owned and controlled by the Government of Jordan as part of the executive branch. Distribution is direct: the central headquarters in Amman (Third Circle, Tawfiq Abu al-Huda Street) coordinates with all 12 Jordanian governorates and operates a multi-channel public-communications stack (website, social media on Facebook/X/YouTube/Instagram/LinkedIn, RSS, stakeholder satisfaction surveys, and a media center).

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• USAID: The US bilateral development agency. USAID operates as a much larger incumbent in the development-coordination space, with overlapping donor-coordination, program implementation, and MEL functions that mirror MoPIC's mandate.
• UNDP (United Nations Development Programme): The UN's primary development agency. UNDP coordinates multi-donor development programming globally and intersects with MoPIC's mandate on SDG-aligned development planning and reporting (e.g., Voluntary National Reviews).
• European Commission DG INTPA: The EU's directorate-general for international partnerships. DG INTPA structures the €135M EU grant package coordinated through MoPIC and operates at a broader, supranational scale as a peer development-coordination body.
• World Bank: The largest multilateral development institution. The World Bank's country partnership frameworks and concessional financing windows overlap with MoPIC's role in coordinating economic reform and infrastructure investment in Jordan.

Direct peers

• FCDO (UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office): The UK's bilateral development arm. FCDO's role in coordinating UK development finance, including the £5.3M National Water Carrier MoU with MoPIC, makes it a direct functional peer for donor coordination and program delivery.
• Saudi Fund for Development: Saudi Arabia's bilateral development finance institution. The Saudi Fund's $98M total contribution to Jordan (Princess Basma Hospital, etc.) makes it a direct counterparty for concessional project financing coordinated through MoPIC.
• Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development: A regional Arab development finance institution providing concessional loans to developing countries. Its mission parallels MoPIC's bilateral aid-coordination function in supporting infrastructure and economic development programs.
• Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development: A pan-Arab development finance institution. The Arab Fund's $189M financing for the National Water Carrier and ongoing Jordan Country Partnership Strategy make it a direct peer in concessional infrastructure financing for Arab countries.
• GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit): Germany's federal development agency. GIZ is a direct counterpart to MoPIC given the €127M German financing partnership and ongoing technical cooperation; both serve as bilateral development intermediaries coordinating donor finance and program implementation.
• Agence Française de Développement (AFD): France's bilateral development agency. AFD operates comparably to MoPIC by channeling concessional finance into partner-country programs and coordinating economic and infrastructure reforms in developing economies.
