His Highness Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II, the Crown Prince, chairs the preparatory committee meeting concerned with the executive program for the cleanliness strategy and reduction of random waste disposal for the years 2026-2027, which is a political and social gesture with deep significances.
For the cleanliness file to top the agenda of the young leadership implies that the state is redefining priorities from major issues to daily details that affect equally the elegance of the place, human health, and the image of the nation.
Cleanliness is a system of values and general behavior that starts with legislation and ends with public social interaction; random disposal of waste is a reflection of a malfunction in the relationship between the citizen and the place. From this perspective comes the importance of the executive program as a long-term transformative path.
The significance of the Crown Prince chairing this meeting lies in three main messages:
The first is that environmental and cleanliness issues have become part of everyday health and social security and the quality of life that the state strives to establish.
The second is that the new approach is based on executive planning, which means linking goals with clear performance indicators and defined responsibilities.
The third is that the youth, who are symbolically and practically represented by the Crown Prince, are the focus of change, targeted by awareness and partners in the solution.
Choosing the years 2026-2027 confirms that the state thinks in terms of the long run and not merely in a crisis mode; addressing random disposal requires a deterrent legislative structure, an effective service infrastructure, and most importantly, a public culture that revives the concept of the neighborhood and shared space. This can only be achieved by the integrated roles of municipalities, the private sector, schools, universities, and civil society organizations.
This strategy also carries an additional national dimension as Jordan, with its limited resources, views every randomly discarded waste bag as a burden on health, tourism, the economy, and the country's image in the eyes of both its citizens and visitors.
Therefore, investing in cleanliness is an investment in national identity and in honoring collective self-respect and the beautiful image of Jordan.
What also distinguishes this step is its practical nature; the Crown Prince chairing the meeting signifies getting involved in the details and the seriousness of the proposal in this field, posing tough questions about who is responsible, how we hold them accountable, how we change behavior—questions that are as important as providing mechanisms and funding.
Ultimately, this meeting consolidates a modern understanding of the state, where the renaissance does not start from major headlines alone but also from the cleanliness of the streets and neighborhoods, and from a citizen who feels that the place they live in deserves respect.
