From October 2008 – December 2009, the Al-Quds Center for Political Studies, along with the National Democratic Institute, engaged in an innovative and multi-faceted pilot project entitled the Jordanian Parliament Monitor (JPM) which aimed to open up the process by which the Jordanian parliament is run to facilitate voter participation in the governmental process.

By providing Jordan's citizens with reliable information to monitor their elected representatives' track records on key public policy issues, the project has sought to improve the capacity of the parliament as a whole in the performance of its duties. The JPM project was launched in order to address these concerns, as well as improve the overall efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of the Jordanian parliament at both the individual and institutional levels. The Al-Quds Center strongly believes that the Jordanian Parliament Monitor project has been a major and necessary first step on the road to democracy and good governance. Through monitoring, analysis, and dialogue, the project has engaged authorities, civil society and a variety of other stakeholders, which has in turn generated a process of positively reviving the public's engagement with its parliament and the advancement of institutional openness and accountability throughout the country.
