In a related context, ESCWA held from 28 to 30 November a national workshop in Jordan to launch the Social Expenditure Monitor, a tool to support budgeting and fiscal policy reforms.
Participants examined the challenges of public spending in Jordan amid the COVID-19 pandemic, important trends and patterns of social spending and the relevance of policies to the budget.
