FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-18

Summary
The Burden of Childcare Reduced and Addressed for Women in Jordan project (BUCRA) aims to increase the number of qualified women childcare providers. It also seeks to grow the number of childcare businesses offering quality childcare and improve employment opportunities for women in the sector. The project aims to engage governmental, private sector and training organizations to drive transformative change in the childcare sector. The project targets over 8,600 women in 7 regions of the country (Amman, Ajloun, Irbid, Karak, Maan, Madaba and Zarqa) to help them enter the Jordanian workforce. It does so by equipping local stakeholders with the tools needed to address systemic barriers to entry by increasing training opportunities in the childcare sector and dispelling myths about women’s role in society.

Description (French)
Le projet Réduction du fardeau de la garde d’enfants pour les femmes en Jordanie (BUCRA) vise à augmenter le nombre de femmes qualifiées dans le domaine de la garde d'enfants. Il vise également à augmenter le nombre d'entreprises de garde d'enfants offrant des services de qualité et à améliorer les possibilités d'emploi pour les femmes dans ce secteur. Le projet vise à impliquer le gouvernement, le secteur privé et les organisations de formation pour conduire un changement transformateur dans le secteur de la garde d'enfants. Le projet cible plus de 8 600 femmes dans sept régions du pays (Amman, Ajloun, Irbid, Karak, Maan, Madaba et Zarqa) afin de les aider à entrer sur le marché du travail jordanien. Pour ce faire, il dote les acteurs locaux des outils nécessaires pour lever les obstacles systémiques à l'entrée sur le marché du travail en augmentant les possibilités de formation dans le secteur de la garde d'enfants et en dissipant les mythes sur le rôle des femmes dans la société.
