Women’s Employment in Green Economy Enterprises (WE-GREEN)
FY 2025-26 · 2026-03-11
Summary
The project aims to increase the economic well-being of Jordanian women and youth, including people with disabilities and Syrian refugees, through increased opportunities for employment in decent and green jobs in areas adjacent to industrial estates (IEs) in East and South Amman, Irbid, Madaba, Mafraq and Zarqa governorates. The project will target the manufacturing sector of 6 industrial estates which provide a concentration of medium and large-scale employers that provide both employment potential, and the economies of scale required to deliver shared services to women and youth, such as transport and childcare. We-GREEN will incentivize and assist employers to increase employment of women and youth in the manufacturing sector, and provide them with skills training and access to decent work opportunities.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à améliorer le bien-être économique des femmes et des jeunes en Jordanie, y compris les personnes en situation de handicap et les réfugiés syriens, en multipliant les opportunités d’emploi décent et respectueux de l’environnement, à proximité des zones industrielles situées dans les gouvernorats d’Amman-Est et d’Amman-Sud, d’Irbid, de Madaba, de Mafraq et de Zarqa. Il ciblera le secteur manufacturier de six zones industrielles qui concentrent des employeurs de taille moyenne et de grande taille, offrant à la fois un potentiel d’emploi et les économies d’échelle nécessaires pour fournir des services partagés aux femmes et aux jeunes, tels que le transport et la garde d’enfants. Le projet We-GREEN encouragera et aidera les employeurs à accroître l’emploi des femmes et des jeunes dans le secteur manufacturier, et leur fournira des formations professionnelles ainsi qu’un meilleur accès à des emplois décents.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) Increased labour force participation in decent jobs, of vulnerable women & youth, within key green economy sector employers, in and around targeted Industrial Estates(IEs) and (2) Reduced gender-specific barriers to women’s participation in green jobs, in order to lead to improved economic well-being for women and youth in Jordan, including people with disabilities and Syrian refugees.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : (1) une augmentation du taux d'activité des femmes et des jeunes vulnérables occupant des emplois décents au sein des principaux employeurs du secteur de l'économie verte, dans et autour des zones industrielles ciblées ; et (2) une réduction des obstacles spécifiques au genre qui entravent l'accès des femmes aux emplois verts, afin d'améliorer le bien-être économique des femmes et des jeunes en Jordanie, y compris les personnes en situation de handicap et les réfugiés syriens.
