Bani Mustafa on Tackling Poverty Roots
Social Development Minister Wafa Bani Mustafa emphasized the importance of shifting from merely addressing the effects of poverty to tackling its root causes through proactive and comprehensive social policies. These policies aim to promote economic empowerment, social protection, and decent employment opportunities. She confirmed that poverty has become a multidimensional phenomenon encompassing education, health, housing, and essential services, which has led to the adoption of more inclusive measurement tools such as the Multidimensional Poverty Index. Jordan has contributed, through its strategic visions, to improving the social protection system by utilizing data and technology via the Social Registry and Early Warning System, with the goal of targeting the most vulnerable families. She highlighted the importance of Arab cooperation through the Arab Center for Social Policy to support policy development and achieve sustainable development, with particular focus on the most disadvantaged groups such as people with disabilities and the elderly. It was also reiterated that the conference aims to develop practical strategies to effectively reduce poverty in the region.
