This paper looks into how dividing money among different levels of government helps improve social safety net programs. It pays attention to the way rule and money impacts work in Jordan. By looking at the link between money choices and social rules, this study checks how spread out managing resources helps with social safety results like who is covered, how well it runs, fairness, steady funds, and public trust. Using a mix of methods, the paper joins stories from talks and groups with numbers from polls given to 120 people including rule makers, social safety managers, and users. Big findings show that splitting money can make social help and money grow by making areas fairer, better at running things, and boosting citizen trust. The paper points out that there’s a need for learning programs, clear rules, local policies, and better teamwork between governments to get the most from splitting up power. These findings add to the talk on changing how we rule and give useful ideas for those making choices to strengthen Jordan’s social safety nets.
