Project Description
This project aims to procure and deliver military transport busses for the Jordanian armed forces’ (JAF) northern and central regional commands Military Women’s Training Centre (MWTC) and special forces women’s platoon. Procuring these vehicles complements ongoing efforts to remove systemic barriers and increase women’s participation integration and retention throughout the JAF. It is expected that these efforts help to improve the JAF’s capacity to respond to humanitarian and security situations including threats of terrorism involving women and children.

Progress & Results Achieved
Results achieved at the end of the project (September 2024) include: (1) successfully handed over 6 transport buses to the Jordan Armed Forces (JAF); (2) improved access to the women’s accommodation buildings the military women’s training centre and special forces women’s platoons; and (3) significantly supported JAF’s efforts to recruit and retain female soldiers advancing gender integration across the military.
