The purpose of this project is to expand the JAF Military Women’s Training Centre (MWTC) until it has the capacity to run a full Basic Training Course (BTC) within its compound which will serve to increase the number of females training. This project will focus on the following infrastructure for the MWTC: a 100 by 60-metre parade square, 4 outdoor classrooms (Gazebo), and increasing quality-of-life by improving existing accommodations by including a sunshade with fencing and gates. This will provide the women with a private outdoor study area accommodating to their cultural privacy traditions.

This requirement is part of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) mandate to enhance JAF operations within Jordan. The MWTC is responsible for training the increased number of females joining the JAF, and is lacking the space necessary to train their soldiers. By updating and providing infrastructure, this project will allow the MWTC to train more recruits in accordance with cultural norms.

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.

The Private Sector Financing Programme (PSFP) aims to support rural people to overcome poverty and achieve food security by supporting sustainable, and resilient livelihoods. The PSFP focuses on catalyzing greater private sector investments to support and benefit small producers and rural micro, small and medium enterprises in local agri-food systems. The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) manages the PSFP .

Project activities include: (1) addressing bottlenecks in underserved value chains; (2) increasing market participation through small producers’ aggregation (3) creating more resilient value chains (4) promoting the adoption of digital innovations that improve value chain efficiency, transparency, sustainability, and resilience.
