Jordan

A nation of 11.5 million in one of the driest lands on earth, where every home cooks with clean fuel and the World Bank approved $700 million for private investment in 2026.

Perfect Nations values what Jordan owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Jordan. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.

Solutions for Perfect Jordan

  • Solution No. 16

    The Reading Compact

    Partners and Jordanians abroad invest together in one fund that rewards schools as children read.

    • 01The challenge62% of Jordanian children could not read a simple text by the end of primary school in 2021.
    • 02What Perfect Nations advisesJordan should launch a learning outcomes fund in which its development partners and Jordanians abroad invest together, releasing money to schools only as children reach agreed reading levels, so every partner finances results rather than inputs. With super intelligence, Arabic reading can be assessed and tutored on a phone, child by child, so every school sees which pupils need help this term.
