Background Jordan faces one of the highest youth and female unemployment rates in the MENA region, compounded by prolonged economic pressures, climate vulnerability, and the continued impact of displacement and regional instability.

By combining soft skills development, market-driven training, entrepreneurship support, and real economic infrastructure, the project moves beyond traditional training models to deliver sustainable pathways into employment and income generation. and women, particularly from refugee communities, remain disproportionately excluded from meaningful employment opportunities, despite their strong motivation to participate in the economy support, and real economic infrastructure, the project moves beyond traditional training models to deliver sustainable pathways into employment and income generation.
