Our focus

UNDP in Jordan

Anchored in Jordan’s Economic Modernization Vision, our efforts focus on enhancing resilience in critical regions by fostering community-based innovation and increasing women’s and youth participation in sustainable economic growth. These efforts are vital for bridging inequalities and accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Green and Safe Future Pathways

The UNDP Jordan Country Programme (2023–2027) prioritizes sustainable development through responsible natural resource management, climate adaptation, and the transition to a green economy. Our programme supports policies and initiatives that integrate nature-based solutions, strengthen disaster risk reduction, and address the water-food-energy nexus to enhance resource efficiency and resilience.
Prosperous and Productive People

Under this pillar, we focus on fostering inclusive economic growth and enhancing livelihoods for vulnerable communities. Special emphasis is placed on advancing entrepreneurship, strengthening value chains, and supporting innovation within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Holistic and Transformative Systems and Capacities

Efforts under this pillar seek to build trust between institutions and communities, ensuring that governance systems are responsive, transparent, and aligned with national development priorities.
Gender Equality and Women Empowerment

Through UNDP Signature Solution 6 on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment, UNDP Jordan delivers impactful solutions by targeting the challenges facing women and girls through inclusive stakeholder engagement, building evidence-based assessments, and ensuring gender inclusive programme and policy design.

UNDP Jordan’s goal is to strengthen gender equality and women’s empowerment through an impactful mainstreaming approach to achieve inclusive participation and social cohesion, resilient communities, livelihoods and environment, and enabling an institutional framework for the realization of the SDGs.
