The Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, alongside the Government of Jordan and the OECD-DAC, successfully convened a high-level Policy Dialogue on Harnessing Blended Finance for Public-Private Partnership Projects in Jordan. Arab Fund’s participation in the dialogue, led by H.E. Fawzi Yousef Alhunaif, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Directors, emphasizes commitment to supporting economic and social development in Jordan and expanding access to quality infrastructure and services.

This dialogue was part of Arab Fund’s Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) Jordan 2025–2029 which includes a program for using blended finance as a de-risking tool to mobilize private capital for PPP projects, representing a crucial tool for governments seeking to bridge financing gaps and leverage private sector expertise and innovation. The Dialogue brought together over 120 participants comprising senior government officials, development partners, private investors, financial institutions, and international experts to discuss how blended finance can unlock private sector participation in critical PPP projects, accelerate sustainable development, and stimulate social and technological entrepreneurship in Jordan.
