Introduction
The UNDP’s “Enhancing Women’s Participation in the Solid Waste Management Sector in Jordan” Project contributes to improving women’s quality of life in the North of Jordan through enhancing their livelihoods and wellbeing. The entry point of this project is women’s economic empowerment and gender equality as means of addressing barriers that are hindering women from active participation in their communities as workers, entrepreneurs, and change-makers, with an understanding that real women’s economic empowerment exists when women and girls have similar opportunities to men and boys in terms of knowledge, economic opportunities, gender-sensitive policies, decision-making power and access to and control over assets and resources.The WEE Project focuses on empowering women by applying multiple interventions in different thematic areas. First, the project is working on improving the effectiveness of women’s organizations to actively represent and support women’s voices in decision-making processes. Also, it aims at increasing women’s economic participation in the targeted areas through the provision of income-generating opportunities within the local economy, while at the same time enhancing gender-informed policy making at both community and national levels, with a particular focus on solid waste management and the green economy.
