Jordanian Law Advances Women in Local Admin
The Jordanian Ministry of Local Administration has revealed a strategic plan to strengthen women's role in municipal and developmental work. This will be achieved by activating provisions of the new Local Administration Law, which ensures the existence of specialized units to empower women within the organizational structures of municipalities. The UN Women agency praised the quota percentage approved by the law, which is at least 30% in municipal and provincial councils. The strategy includes developing awareness and training programs to prepare female candidates for municipal elections, as well as regulating the work of developmental units and integrating them with international and private organizations to ensure the sustainability of capacity-building programs. The plans also emphasize allocating financial budgets to meet women's needs and enhancing their political and economic participation in local decision-making, supported by technical and financial assistance from the United Nations. The goal is to create a supportive environment that guarantees women a leadership role in shaping local policies and managing resources in a way that serves the public interest.
