The United States and Jordan have been partners in Jordan’s development for over 50 years. The United States is committed to helping Jordan meet its goal of economic prosperity for all citizens. Within the region, Jordan's comparative advantage rests with its young, well-educated population; world class tourist attractions; and commitment to political and economic reform. Since the U.S.– Jordan partnership began in 1952, USAID has devoted more than $4.7 billion to its work there. Today, USAID focuses on water resources, economic growth, health care, education and good governance.
