Amman, Feb. 17 (Petra) – The head of the Senate’s Labor and Social Development Committee, Senator Issa Murad, led a Zoom meeting to assess the progress of the SOLiD project, which aims to improve social dialogue across the European Union’s southern neighborhood countries, particularly in Jordan.

The meeting included representatives from the European Union and the Jordan Chamber of Industry.

Murad highlighted the project’s “crucial” role in fostering communication between employers and workers in Jordan. He emphasized the need to build on its successes and create a supportive environment for continued social dialogue.

He underlined that the initiative has been “instrumental” in shaping labor market policies, enhancing the rights of both workers and employers and establishing social dialogue as a key element of Jordan’s economic and social policy.

The discussion focused on the project’s role in establishing a sustainable institutional framework for social dialogue. This has been achieved by supporting unions, employers’ associations, and civil society organizations through various initiatives, such as capacity-building workshops, analytical studies, seminars and dialogues, he added.

The creation of a comprehensive database has been pivotal in supporting these social dialogue efforts.
