Because of its modest natural resources, Jordan has focused on developing its human potential. Turning necessity into virtue, the Kingdom has bolstered its economic and social viability by advancing the well-being of its citizens. Jordan has long concentrated on improving its educational and health standards, thereby strengthening a rising tide which lifts not only the Jordanian economy—due to a skilled and healthy labor force—but also the general quality of life for all citizens of the Kingdom. In spite of the daunting political and socio-economic challenges it has faced as a result of turmoil in the region, Jordan has made rapid strides in developing its greatest asset—its people. This focus on human development stems not only from geographical and economic necessity, but also from the late King Hussein’s firm conviction that people need to be given the chance to pursue a better tomorrow for themselves and future generations. This emphasis on qualitative change in peoples' lives has been the main driving force behind the Kingdom's social and economic development. |
