Project profile — Accommodations buildings for women in the Jordanian armed forces

This project aims to support the construction of 2 accommodation buildings for women in the Jordanian Armed Forces (FAJ) to enable greater participation and integration of women soldiers within the Northern and Central Regional Commands.

Project activities include: (1) engaging external contractors to construct 2 buildings to house the women; (2) supplying and delivering the equipment and furniture required for these buildings; and (3) conducting regular site visits to monitor progress.

The expected results of this project include: (1) enhanced security response capability of the JAF through women platoon deployment across Northern and Central Regional Commands; and (2) enhanced ability for JAF women soldiers to seek entry, advancement, and leadership roles within Northern and Central Regional Commands
