Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether representatives of Jordanian civil society have been invited to attend the 2019 London initiative on opportunities for growth in Jordan.

We are working through the Crown Prince foundation, a leading Jordanian NGO, to ensure participation of Jordanian civil society at the London Initiative and at events in the margins. International NGOs working on job-creation, skills-development and women’s’ economic empowerment have been invited to attend, and we are organising a civil society consultation session in Amman to feed into the London event.
