UNDP – Gender Justice to Increase Women’s Economic Opportunities and Income in Jordan (2021)

Gender Empowerment

Under the UNDP, Al Jidara worked on the research project “Gender Justice to Increase Women's Economic Opportunities and Income in Jordan” to assist the UNDP in identifying the gaps women face in the legal, justice, policy, and financial sectors. The project aimed to advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal of enhancing equitable access to a gender-responsive judicial process and a gender-inclusive financial system.

The research report analyzed financial actors in Jordan such as banks and microfinance institutions (MFIs), and conducted key informant interviewed (KKIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) in Amman and Irbid. As part of the research, women from rural and urban areas, as well as representatives from MFIs and the Central Bank of Jordan were interviewed about their experiences accessing economics and financial resources in Jordan. Al Jidara produced a report that not only revealed present financial inequalities but also offered gender-based recommendations to promote women's participation in Jordan's economic landscape after conducting research on the economic backdrop of Jordan before and after COVID-19.
