BACKGROUND

The Jordan Economic Reform Activity Task Order 1 (ERA TO1) is a 5-year, $54 million program funded by USAID, which aims to support the Government of Jordan (GOJ) to prioritize and implement economic reforms. Through coordination with the GOJ, the Jordanian and international private sector, other donors, and Jordanian civil society, ERA TO 1 will (1) advance economic reforms, (2) strengthen the business enabling environment, (3) increase exports and local, regional, and international investments, and (4) respond to emerging priorities. 

In year 1, USAID ERA conducted a Gender Equality and Social Inclusion Analysis for five themes of ERA and identified areas of opportunities to enhance inclusion within economic reform. This assignment addresses two of these recommendations: First: Increase the knowledge of ERA main stakeholders on Gender Equality and Social Inclusion by establishing basic training for managers and staff of main stakeholders to ensure unified baselines of understanding, terminology and understanding. Second: develop an easy-to-use gender lens tool that would help stakeholders, especially gender focal points improve the inclusion levels of their activities, SOPs, services, to name a few. ERA already has a draft that has underwent several discussions by the private and public sectors.
