Jordan is undergoing a rapid demographic transition characterized by a growing proportion of older persons. While it poses rising challenges for social protection and healthcare systems, it also creates opportunities to strengthen the role of older persons as active human and social capital. In response to these changes, Jordan launched the third edition of its National Strategy for Older Persons (2025–2030). To ensure effective implementation, a Plan of Action was developed through collaboration between the National Council for Family Affairs, national and international partners, and in coordination with the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA).
This approach aims to enhance implementation, institutional coordination, evidence-based monitoring, and multi-sectoral partnerships.
