Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the three-year program aims to develop leadership skills for 500 women across Jordan, enhancing their roles within their families and communities.
In a statement on Tuesday, ARDD highlighted that the first phase involves 70 women from five governorates Amman, Irbid, Balqa, Aqaba, and Ma'an divided into three groups. Each training program will span six months, focusing on boosting women's leadership abilities to promote their engagement in civil, political, and governance roles across both public and private sectors, as well as civil society. The program is also designed to empower women to take on leadership roles in their personal and professional spheres.
Roselle Agner, Chief of Party of the Tawazon Program, underscored the initiative’s objective of creating lasting change by amplifying women's voices and influence. This will be achieved by advocating for gender-sensitive legislative frameworks, fostering social attitudes that support women's participation, addressing barriers to their inclusion, and developing their leadership capabilities.
Program organizers emphasized the importance of preparing a new generation of female leaders by equipping them with essential skills and knowledge, creating a supportive environment for women, and fostering collaboration across sectors to promote women’s leadership.
The Arab Women Leadership Academy stands as one of Jordan's leading programs dedicated to empowering ambitious women by providing practical training in leadership and life skills, thereby contributing to a more inclusive and empowered society.
