Description

BPWA was a co-implementing partner for the first phase of LEAP project which aimed at supporting women's economic empowerment through improvements to the enabling environment and culture regarding entrepreneurship and women in the workforce. As a result, BPWA has drafted the “Stakeholder and Situational Identification” report with the objective of identifying Jordanian’s attitudes towards women’s participation in the workforce and women’s employability, as well as to identify barriers preventing women from full participation in the workforce and entrepreneurship.
