Amman, Oct 19 (Petra) – The Higher Steering Committee for the National Youth Strategy 2026–2030 on Monday approved the draft strategy, which requires Council of Ministers final endorsement.

The strategy, passed during a meeting chaired by Youth Minister Raed Al-Adwan, consists of five key pillars: Active Citizenship, culture and creative arts, learning, future-readiness, and economic empowerment, health and well-being, and sports and physical activity.

The strategy’s executive program encompasses 20 primary programs, including 101 specific projects and interventions, developed in collaboration with 25 partner entities.

During the meeting, a presentation outlined the strategy’s key areas, priorities, focus areas, and target demographics, as well as the proposed programs, projects, and the mechanisms for governance, implementation, and monitoring.

Al-Adwan said the strategy is a unified national framework for working with and for youth. It aligns with the Royal Vision and national modernization pathways, while fostering synergy among government institutions and partners to invest in the energy and potential of young people, and to expand their opportunities for participation across various sectors, he added.

The meeting was attended by Ministry of Youth officials, committee members, including secretaries-general from various ministries, representatives from youth organizations, the Jordan Armed Forces, the Public Security Directorate, and experts in the field of youth work.
