| Overview : The “Enhancing Women Participation in the Solid Waste Management Sector in Jordan” project initiated by the UNDP in 2020 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 same opportunities as men and boys to 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. Proposals, with supporting documents, should be submitted by [15th September 2021] Time on [14:00pm]. Potential applicants should refer to the “Frequent Asked Questions” posted in UNDP’s website.
