His Majesty King
Abdullah „s Letter of
Appointment to His
Excellency The Prime
Minister December 9th,
2009
The Holistic Vision
“We charge you with forming a new Cabinet that will
•Build on the achievements of our cherished country
•Address the pitfalls and shortcomings through an institutionalised programme that is based on;
a) A clear agenda with performance indicators that ensure the translation of our vision of reform into reality;
b) An agenda whose positive impact would reflect on all spheres of life in our cherished land;
c) An agenda that would ensure our people the decent life to which they are entitled, a life of security, ripe with possibilities for achievement”
Main Pillars
Carrying The Vision
Reform and Modernisation
Reform and Modernisation
“The process of reform and modernisation started several years ago, and we are determined to continue
the process in order to build on the plans, programmes and objectives of the National Agenda and that can achieve the prosperity and progress for
our country. “
The Process and The Mechanism
“Achieving these objectives requires that the formation of your Cabinet is;
A. Inspired by a seamless work plan that,
B. Identifies specific objectives in every sector and,
C. Defines timelines for the implementation and achievement of these objectives.
D. This is necessary so that performance can be evaluated, decisions accordingly made and responsibilities appropriately assigned .”
Ministers Selection Criteria
“Ministers should be chosen according to the criteria of;
Competence, efficiency and commitment to the priorities of the next phase,
The conditions confronting this phase and the practical plans for implementation.
In light of this, we direct you to take ample time to discuss these objectives, programmes and implementation mechanisms with the candidates for your ministerial team.
This is necessary so that every minister is aware of both the objectives that he is expected to achieve and the criteria by which his performance will be evaluated.”
Forming The Government‟s Work Plan
“We expect you to present, after no more than two months after the government‟s formation,
A work plan for every ministry that has been discussed and adopted by the Council of Ministers, to ensure that everyone works as one harmonious team, with a clear vision and aware of the expectations of it.
This way, our people will know the principles according to which their government is working and the objectives that it is expected to achieve with transparency.
For, we desire a government that works with
a. Confidence
b. Transparency and team spirit in the service of the public interest,
c. With no laxity or hesitation in decision making out of fear or out of consideration for momentary publicity or out of a desire to appease - all of which have cost our country many opportunities to distinguish itself and to achieve positive change.”
Code of Honor
“We stress here the need to be committed to the law in every task the government undertakes.
While we stress this, we also instruct you to issue a code of honour based on the Constitution and the
law that clarifies the moral and legal criteria that the ministers must be committed to throughout their
public service.
This document will be a public document and an additional reference for Jordanians in judging the
performance of the ministerial team.”
Cascading Code of Honor
“The government should also issue a similar document to which all public servants at every level must commit.
For our people are ready to bear any hardship and confront every challenge if they are convinced that those serving them in state institutions are doing their jobs within;
A. Institutional frameworks and
B. Under legal monitoring and
C. Are fortified against all forms of corruption, abuse of public office and
D. Manipulation of the law.”

Building
“The Jordan of The Future”
“Mr. Prime Minister, we want your government to make qualitative steps in our reform, modernisation and development process, to which we are committed as the ultimate necessity in building the Jordan of the future:
Secure, stable and prosperous.
And reform is a comprehensive political, economic, administrative and social regime that does not reach its fullest potential unless it is pursued equally in all sectors.”

Economic Reform To Encompass and
Be Solidly Intertwined with Political Reform
“While we consider economic reform a priority, as it has a direct impact on the lives of the people for whom we seek to achieve only the best as our primary objective,
We believe that economic reform will not achieve its objectives if it is not accompanied by political reform that ensures the highest level of participation in decision making through effective institutions that are capable of working transparently and objectively to multiply our achievements and confront dereliction of duty and shortcomings according to the Constitution and the law.”
The Parliament
“Since we have issued
decrees to dissolve
Parliament and called
for new parliamentary
elections that are a
model of integrity,
impartiality and
transparency”

Government‟s Role In The New Elections Law
“ Your government‟s main task is to take the necessary steps, including;
Amending the Elections Law and
Improving electoral procedures
To ensure that the next elections are a qualitative leap in our development and modernisation process, whereby every Jordanian is able to practise their right to campaign and to elect and to choose a legislature that is capable of exercising its constitutional role of monitoring the government, writing legislation and contributing effectively to the adoption of democracy as culture and a practise in our beloved homeland. “

Government – Parliament
Relationship Protocol
“The government should reassess its method of dealing with Parliament so as to restore this relationship as;
A cooperative and complementary one that serves the national interest, and
Whereby the authorities each practise their constitutional authority without one trespassing the other or reaching interest-based understandings that would make achieving personal gains a condition for the stability of the relationship between the two authorities.
In order to ensure that the mistakes of the past do not recur, we ask you to draft a protocol, to which your team should be committed, that outlines the rules of engagement with Parliament in accordance with the Constitution and the law.”
The Parliament – The People
“We hope that the new Parliament would also issue a
similar document so as to reassure Jordanians that the
relationship between the executive and legislative
authorities is governed by criteria that serve the public
interest and reflects the legal and political
complementarity that is necessary to serve the country
and that are not hostage to narrow considerations. ”

The Elections 2010
“The next elections, which should be held no later than the last quarter of 2010 , constitute a major step in developing our democratic performance and strengthening public participation in the political development process.
But we would like them to be part of a comprehensive political development programme that addresses all obstacles to this development; that contributes to the advancement of the work of political parties and their platforms; and that opens the door for all Jordanians to participate. “

Media Reform
The necessary legislative amendments must be made and
The relevant policies must be adopted to establish
The proper environment to develop a professional media industry and
Ensure the media‟s right to access information and deal with it freely.
Laws also must be amended and modernised to protect society from
those practises that are unprofessional and immoral by some media
outlets.

Economic Policy
As for economic policy, regional and international conditions have negatively
affected our own economic situation, and the government should;
Exert maximum effort to develop the economy,
Ensure the best management of resources and
Work according to clear plans that protect our Economy from the
repercussions of the global economic crisis and
Enable it to achieve the highest levels of growth.
Economic and fiscal policies must be formulated that would boost
our national economy‟s competitiveness. 29Bayan Shadaideh - I AM JORDAN - Jordan

The Economic Plan‟s Pillars
The government‟s economic plan must also include measures to achieve a balance between financial capabilities and demands for public spending;
To preserve fiscal and monetary stability; to strengthen
our reliance on our own resources;
To develop our own economic legislation; and
To achieve the best possible balance in terms of development
among the governorates so as to achieve better living standards
for citizens and fight poverty and unemployment.

Protect The Poor and
Underprivileged
• Work must also focus on protecting the poor and underprivileged and on strengthening institutional work to care for those in need.
Attract New Technology
• And because investment constitutes one of the most important factors of economic success and contributes to providing job opportunities, attracting new technology and developing the skill of the labour force, the investment environment must be developed and work must be intensified to attract foreign investment.

Investment’s Reform
Methodology
• In this regard, the government is asked to facilitate the work of Jordanian investors and support the Jordanian business community in all sectors by addressing bureaucratic obstacles, by developing mechanisms to fund projects and by developing the tender procedures in order to ensure the participation of all investors with transparency and justice. The necessary legislative and regulatory procedures must be adopted and applied to ensure the vitality and security of the banking sector and to guard it against the repercussions of the global financial crisis.
Public Private Partnership (PPP)
•The government should continue to apply policies that seek to develop the partnership with the private sector so that the private sector can play a full role in our development process.

Food and Water Projects
• The government’s economic policy should focus on achieving food and water security and on responding to the Kingdom’s need for energy resources through long-term planning and pursuing mega-projects that are capable of responding to our growing needs .
Special Focus on Alternative Energy
Projects
• In order to achieve the best possible results, and in light of the fact that these issues are interconnected, the government must draft the institutional frameworks that would ensure the highest level of coordination in the management of and investment in these sectors, especially alternative energy projects, gas and shale oil exploration, nuclear energy, the Disi Water Conveyance Project and the Red-Dead Water Conveyance Project .

Agriculture – Food Security Pillar
• The agricultural sector , one of the pillars of food security, needs more care and attention. We need more projects that support farmers, exempt agricultural equipment from taxes, provide farmers with easy loans and find markets for their products.
Telecommunications and Road Networks (Internal
Within Jordan and External within the Region)
• Investment in these mega projects must also be accompanied by work to develop infrastructure, especially the telecommunications and road networks. Likewise, procedures regarding the establishment of the national railway must be finalised in order to allow Jordan to become a regional transport hub and to develop the opportunities for cooperation with neighbouring Arab states .

The e-health strategy and
The development of Al Bashir Hospital as well as
The new Zarqa and Northern Badia hospitals.
The standard of health services available to citizens at public hospitals and health centres must also be improved,

Decent Housing for Decent Living
“We emphasise here that providing decent housing for citizens must be at the forefront of the government‟s priorities. We initiated the Decent
Housing for Decent Living Initiative in 2008 to provide the greatest possible number of homes to citizens at reasonable prices and with financing mechanisms that would benefit Jordanians with limited
income.
Despite some successes in implementation, achievements have not met expectations. Therefore, a review of all aspects of this initiative must be
undertaken, and a plan must be formulated to address the gaps and remove the obstacles to its successful conclusion, especially with regards to the financing mechanisms. The initiative should then be implemented
within a specific time frame”.
Public Services Development
Work must also continue in order to improve the quality of services to citizens and to draft a comprehensive plan to achieve a qualitative leap in the standard of public services to ensure they are readily available and effective.
The comprehensive development that we seek to achieve requires that more attention be devoted to programmes to develop the public sector as well as to
The restructuring and rehabilitation of the civil service, particularly by ridding it of laxity,
By adopting the principle of equal opportunity and transparency in recruitment and promotion,
By activating mechanisms of oversight and accountability and by combating all forms of corruption, nepotism and favouritism with the utmost firmness and sense of responsibility.

Justice
For, development is only achieved under the shadow of justice, equality and the rule of law for everyone.
The only guarantee of this is the judiciary, whose independence, integrity, efficiency and good reputation.
We are keen to preserve through implementing the necessary plans and programmes to develop this institution, foremost of which is the programme “Future Judges”, and through facilitating litigation and improving the facilities and institutions affiliated with the judicial apparatus.

Sacred Jordanian Dignity
“The rights and dignity of citizens is a red line. And the dignity of Jordanians is, for me, too sacred to allow it to come to any harm.
Jordanians have been harmed by some manifestations of violence and aggression against citizens, among them teachers, employees and physicians.
This is categorically opposed, and that is why laws must be activated and applied to everyone with the utmost justice and firmness; for Jordanians are equal before the law and equal in their rights and duties. “

Security and Stability
“Our national achievements would not have materialised without the blessings of security and stability, and our
Armed Forces and security institutions are the guarantee of our national sovereignty, security and stability, and
they are a source of pride for Jordanians. It is one of our main duties to give them support, care and attention in terms of supplies, training, arms, so that they remain a
model of efficiency and competence. “

Arab Ties
As for our Arab ties, Jordan has, since its establishment and until this day, been at the forefront of its Arab nation in terms of commitment to the nation and work to strengthen solidarity and integration within institutions of common Arab action. We will continue to do our duty to defend the rights of and just causes of the nation, foremost of which is the Palestinian cause.
We will continue to provide all forms of support to our Palestinian brothers in their struggle to gain their legitimate rights, especially their right to establish their independent state on their national soil, with East Jerusalem as its capital. We emphasise here that Jerusalem is, for us and all Arabs and Muslims, a red line that we do not permit anyone to cross.

“We will continue to work and to employ our relations to achieve peace on the basis of the two-state solution, within a regional context that restores all Arab rights in accordance with the adopted references, especially the Arab Peace Initiative, so that the region may enjoy peace and security and be free of the woes of conflict, injustice and occupation.
The government should continue all its efforts to stand by the Palestinians and provide them with whatever assistance and support they need.”
