Gender and Social Fund

The project aims to achieve a more equitable participation of women in the sustainable development of Jordan. The Fund is implemented through the provision of technical and financial support to initiatives of selected civil society organizations and government bodies that address gender issues in critical strategic areas. Gender related action research and studies that enhance policy and program development in Jordan are also supported. The Fund has three strategic components: capacity building of human resources and institutions; development of a gender knowledge base; and program support to local developmental initiatives.
