Party Secretary-General
Murad Al-Adayleh said: “This
project that the party presents to the country, decision-makers, and Jordanian
citizens, comes as a continuation of the program Jordan Tomorrow 2020, which
was presented by the party in 2014 to contribute to providing visions for
practical projects based on a document that consults Islamic points of
reference in all aspects and uses investment and economic tools to achieve
social justice, invest available resources, develop legislation and laws,
invest in sustainable development, efficient governance, integrity,
transparency, and, most importantly, political reform that will lead the leap
from theoretical framework to practical life.”
Adayleh said that “exclusion” deprives the state
administration of thousands of talents who could hold decision-making positions
in the political, economic, and social fields, “which hinders the country from
running on the right track”.
He said that “after having distinguished itself over
the past decades through its inclusion approach, we see that the official
approach in Jordan today is a policy of exclusion of the opposition”, adding
that no economic plan can succeed without real political reform.
Party Deputy Secretary-General Wael Al-Sakka, head
of the committee in charge of this project, said that the project is the
party’s contribution to
national programs meant to counter the crises facing
the country.
He stressed that
the long-term strategic objective of this project is to transform the Jordanian
economy into a productive economy.
The project was prepared over a period of two years,
during which 26 central party committees took part in workshops, he said,
adding that it was presented to 10 experts, adding: “We will train party
members on this study and submit it to the official authorities and the various
institutions and unions concerned.
He expressed hope that the study will be taken into
account to solve the current problems, “for the citizen to live a positive
life”, and “to help the state find solutions in light of the economic and
political blockage that we live in”.
Mohammad Al-Awawdeh, member of the committee
responsible for preparing this project, said that the study worked on reviewing
the “17 Sustainable Development Goals” and their suitability to the reality of
Jordan, and on amending them to become as follows: combating poverty and
unemployment, food security, good health and well-being, quality education,
social justice, clean water, clean and affordable energy, decent work and
economic growth, industry, innovation, and infrastructure, investing in natural
resources, sustainable cities and civil societies, responsible consumption and
production, environmental preservation, political reform, justice and law, good
institutions, integrity, and anti-corruption, partnerships and Islamic
financing”.
He added that more than 90 strategic objectives, 318
initiatives, and 112 projects have been approved, that “they are executable,
and through them the objectives of the plan can be achieved”.
Musa Al-Wahsh, an official in charge of the party’s economic
file, said that “we will announce this plan on
Independence Day and we will
invite 1,200 experts, MPs, and officials at the announcement ceremony to view
and discuss this plan”.
