\nJordan’s strides in modernizing its economy through ICT initiatives were highlighted in a recent report, which also outlined challenges faced during the first quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n
The report, accessible on the Prime Ministry’s website, cited the completion of a platform to test and regulate revolutionary technologies as a notable achievement.<\/p>\n
In efforts to establish and run government service centers, locations were earmarked for various centers, including Aqaba Shamil, Aqaba Justice, Tafila, Karak, Ma’an, and Justice Rehabilitation Centers. Additionally, a pilot center was launched in Aqaba Services – Justice in January 2024, with further plans to solicit offers for designing buildings in Aqaba Shamil, Ma’an, and Karak.<\/p>\n
Activities are ongoing to equip the Tafila Services Center, with work already underway on the Abdali Justice Center’s rehabilitation and performance monitoring system activation.<\/p>\n
Preparations are also in motion for a redundant data center to support shared services and hosting, alongside adva
\nncing the national billing system’s second phase.<\/p>\n
Under the “Youth, Technology, and Jobs” initiative, partnerships with 22 companies were solidified to support them through the Jordan Growth Project “Kafaat.” Additionally, 7 companies received support for expansion through the Jordan Business Growth Activity. Notably, 48 startup companies were selected for support.<\/p>\n
However, delays in project implementation within the digital systems’ development priority were noted due to procurement processes and company response time.<\/p>\n
In the creative industries sector, significant progress was seen in the gaming and e-sports center construction in Amman, with ongoing efforts to equip the center. Plans are also in place for a specialized training center in Aqaba, part of the Innovation Village development.<\/p>\n
Challenges in this sector include procurement delays due to a lack of qualified companies, necessitating project re-offers.<\/p>\n
In cybersecurity, efforts to enhance national cybersecurity included implementing projects li
\nke “NDR” and “EDR” for government institutions, as well as improving cyber protection through various means.<\/p>\n
National cybersecurity governance initiatives are underway, including preparations for a Cybersecurity Excellence Award, drafting licensing systems for service providers, and educational awareness activities.<\/p>\n
These initiatives showcase Jordan’s commitment to advancing its ICT infrastructure while addressing pertinent challenges.<\/p>\n
