The Jordan blueprint
Perfect Nations™ · Letters to the NationsJordan

Dear Jordan,

Black, white and green beneath a red triangle and a seven-pointed star. Every one of you cooks with clean fuel and almost nine in ten drink safely managed water, in one of the driest nations on earth.

Think of what you have already built. Your IMF programme of about $1.3 billion, with a $700 million climate facility beside it, completed its fifth review in June 2026. In the same month the World Bank approved $700 million to boost private investment and jobs.

At home the record is just as real. Every one of you cooks with clean fuel. Eighty-nine in every hundred of you drink safely managed water at home. Eighty-eight in every hundred of you can always count on enough good food.

The work ahead is plain, and it is worth saying plainly. At the last count, in 2021, sixty-two in every hundred of your children reached the end of primary school unable to read a simple text. Essential health care scores 74 out of 100 on the World Health Organization index. Only eighty in every hundred of you have a safely managed toilet at home. Reading sets your Coverage today, at 37.8 out of 100, with health care and shelter close behind. Each of them is within your reach.

Now imagine that same resolve turned toward every home in the country. Picture Perfect Jordan: a morning when every family cooks with clean fuel and sits down to a full table; when every tap runs clean and every home has a safe toilet; when every child walks to a school where a teacher is waiting, and reads with ease by the age of ten; when every mother lives within reach of a clinic with the lights on, and every young person finds work that pays. And no Jordanian falls below a decent life, because the nation has decided that none will.

None of this needs a miracle. It needs what you already own: your sun, your phosphates and potash, Petra and the Dead Sea, your port at Aqaba and a skilled, outward-looking workforce. They are assets no balance sheet counts, and together they can carry every Jordanian to food, water, shelter, energy, education, health and a livelihood.

“You bring safe water to nine in ten homes in one of the driest lands on earth. Now bring a reader to every Jordanian classroom.”

So this is an invitation. Bring your vision, your story and your solutions to the Perfect Jordan Design Studio, and join the Co-designers who are already imagining what comes next. Perfect Jordan will not be designed for you. It will be designed by you.

Yours in design,

Preeti Sinha
