Bani Mustafa: Focus on Root Causes of Poverty
The Minister of Social Development in Jordan, Wafa Bani Mustafa, affirms that combating poverty requires shifting from merely addressing its effects to focusing on its causes through proactive and diverse policies that promote economic empowerment, social protection, and decent, sustainable employment. She explained that poverty has become a multidimensional phenomenon related to education, health, housing, and employment, and is measured using the multidimensional poverty index to direct policies more effectively. She pointed out that Jordan is working on strengthening its social protection system through the effective use of data and technology, including the social register and early risk monitoring systems, with the aim of reaching the most vulnerable families and individuals. At the Arab level, she called for enhanced cooperation and the development of social policies to combat multidimensional poverty in the region.
