AMMAN — The reactivation of the national service programme was driven by HRH Crown Prince Hussein’s conviction in the importance of this national project in building a generation of disciplined and loyal young Jordanians, Government Communications Minister Mohammad Momani said on Wednesday.

 

He noted that the programm enjoys the direct follow-up of His Majesty King Abdullah, reflecting the leadership’s determination to channel youth energy into a productive force for national development.

 

Speaking on a programme, broadcast by the Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF) Radio, Momani, who is also the government spokesperson, said the government had worked for an entire year to translate this vision into practical steps, restoring national service as a key tool for shaping Jordanian identity and instilling the values of discipline and social responsibility.

 

He stressed that national service is a long-term programme that reflects Jordan’s approach to investing in human capital and shaping youth capable of making meaningful contributions to society and the national economy. The programme, he added, will continue under an institutional framework, away from short-term influences, to ensure sustainable impact.

 

The JAF has full responsibility for implementing the programme, overseeing all logistical, administrative, and training aspects to ensure the highest standards of discipline and professionalism, he noted.

 

He said that the programme combines specialised military and field training with interactive cultural and awareness sessions, designed to deepen participants’ national consciousness and strengthen their ties with national institutions, foremost among them the army.

 

Momani emphasised that the programme will undergo continuous evaluation, led by the JAF, to measure progress in achieving its goals. Its impact, he said, will gradually be reflected in strengthening young people’s sense of commitment and belonging.
