AMMAN, Aug. 10 (Petra) — The Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Dr.
Jafar Hassan has approved a high-impact financial package aimed at
fortifying Jordan’s manufacturing powerhouse and expanding employment
across the Kingdom.

Demonstrating strong state backing for industrial growth, the Council
of Ministers committed to funding the “Better Work” program for an
additional three-year term.

In a decisive move to bolster the industry, the government quadrupled
the program’s budget allocation to 5 million dinars, up from its
previous 1.1 million dinars, mandating the Ministry of Labor to
finalize all operational protocols for execution.

Operating since 2008 as a flagship alliance between the Ministry of
Labor, the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the
International Finance Corporation (IFC), the “Better Work” initiative
is designed to raise workplace standards, boost productivity, and
preserve the global competitiveness of Jordan’s textile and apparel
sector. By reinforcing factory compliance and worker welfare, the
upgraded funding aims to draw fresh foreign direct investment,
accelerate export volume, and open new production branches to employ
Jordanian workers nationwide.
