The proposed project will contribute to improving women’s quality of life in North of Jordan through enhancing their livelihoods and wellbeing. The entry point of this project is women economic empowerment and equality as means to addressing barriers that are hindering women from active participation in their communities as workers, entrepreneurs and change makers, with the understanding that real women’s economic empowerment exists when women and girls have the similar opportunities to men and boys in terms of knowledge, economic opportunities, gender-sensitive policies and decision-making power and access to and control over assets and resources. The Project focuses on empowering women through improving effectiveness of women organizations to actively represent and support women voices in decision-making processes, increasing participation by women in the local economy, enhancing gender informed and responsive policy making at community and national levels, with particular focus on the Solid Waste Management Sector (SWM). The project targets women in three Municipalities which comprise Northern Shouneh District plus an additional municipality (within Kourah District) all in Irbid Governorate. This project is designed to use the SWM sector to provide interventions aiming at empowering women economically, strengthening their voice and representation at the local level, and enhancing the institutional capacities to accompany this process. The design of the project is therefore built around three tracks that aim to improve the economic well-being and social stability of rural women in Northern Jordan, especially in the SWM sector UNDP is planning to establish a composting plant in Kura and continue to support the sorting center in Northern Shouneh, and UNDP will supply machinery and equipment for the composting plant and the sorting center. UNDP therefore requires the services of a Design Specialist to assist the Project Management Unit (PMU) through the design of these components. A compost plant is to be established with a daily production capacity of 60 ton/day, using raw material of manure and agricultural waste, where the raw material of agricultural waste will be shredded and added to the mixture, and the final product will be also shredded to be of fine composition (grinding) suitable for compost uses.
