Jordan's Council of Ministers, chaired by Dr. Jaafar Hassan, approved the justifying reasons for several administrative regulatory projects during its session on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. The approvals encompassed modernization initiatives across multiple sectors, representing a coordinated effort to enhance institutional performance and align organizational structures with government development objectives.
The cabinet approved the justifying reasons for the new administrative organization system for the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, aimed at improving internal coordination, clarifying responsibilities, aligning the organizational structure with the ministry's strategic plan, and facilitating decision-making processes in line with government directives for public sector development. Additionally, the council approved amended regulations for the office of the Chief Judge, designed to modernize judicial administration and support the operations of 78 Sharia courts across the country. The amended system will establish new administrative units focused on information management, data analysis, and digital systems, enabling the judiciary to deliver 158 primary services more efficiently.
In the higher education sector, the cabinet endorsed amended regulations for the teaching staff system and the scholarly missions system at Mu'tah University. These modifications aim to enhance the standing of academic personnel, develop the scientific dispatch system, and align with regulations applied at other Jordanian universities. The council also approved the justifying reasons for the administrative organization system of the Jordanian Academy for Governmental Administration.
All approved regulatory projects will be forwarded to the Legislative and Opinion Bureau to complete necessary legal and legislative procedures for final enactment. The initiatives reflect broader government commitment to institutional efficiency, digital transformation, and alignment with the 2026-2028 strategic development roadmap.
Why This Matters
These administrative reforms signal Jordan's commitment to modernizing its public institutions and judiciary. The updates directly improve service delivery—78 Sharia courts will gain digital systems to process 158 services more efficiently—and strengthen academic standards across higher education. For citizens and businesses, this means faster legal proceedings, clearer institutional responsibilities, and better-aligned government operations with the 2026–2028 development roadmap.
