World Bank: Jordan advances women's project
Jordan has made significant progress in the project to enhance economic opportunities for women ahead of its scheduled end date. The number of new businesses owned or led by women reached over 2,026 by July 2026, more than doubling the final target of 1,000 set for June 2028. Additionally, the percentage of women among total credit facilities exceeded 23.15%. Substantial strides have been taken to improve flexible working conditions, with 122 companies implementing flexible work arrangements, and the proportion of children enrolled in kindergartens increased to 3.9%. The project aims to address barriers women face in entering the labor market, improve financial inclusion, and child care. It continues to deliver positive results despite the overall risk rating remaining at a moderate level.
