Architect/Engineering Services for School Construction and Rehabilitation Program

In August 2006, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/ Jordan launched the four-year Jordan School Construction and Rehabilitation Project (JSP) to support the Ministry of Educations (MOE) efforts to enhance the learning environment and increase access to schools.

This took place as part of the Government of Jordan (GOJ) led Education Reform for the Knowledge Economy (ERfKE) initiative.

JSPs primary focus has been to reduce overcrowding in public schools, replace rented and double-shifted schools and provide a safe and more suitable school environment to respond to the needs of the MOEs reform efforts.

The project started with a budget of US$50 million with the target to construct and furnish 28 new public schools and to rehabilitate 100 existing ones.
