"Learning for Development"
In 1994, The Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development (JOHUD) established The Queen Zein Al Sharaf Institute for Development (ZENID) as a leading national institute dedicated to promoting learning for social development.

ZENID''s mission is to act as a resource to serve the human element of sustainable development in Jordan. It also provides development services, which enhance the skills of those involved in development work, strengthen their capacity and enrich the quality of development efforts so people can become full and active participants in their personal growth as well as in the development process.

ZENID seeks to provide a learning environment where people can exchange and expand their knowledge, skills and expertise in the area of human and social development. ZENID is widely recognized for its diverse capabilities in the area of development, whereby individuals and agencies continuously gather at ZENID to engage in effective dialogue, participate in training, as well as utilize ZENID as the key resource institute for development in Jordan.
