Description:
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.
