Unlocking tomorrow's potential today

From this week's visit with #rdppme Steering Committee to two #SMEs in #Jordan: Anabtawi and Retaj, which we supported in increasing their competitiveness and ability to create new jobs where they now hire workers from the local community, including #syrianrefugees and #hostcommunities. #worldrefugeeday

In most countries, the consensus that #women do not belong in certain ‘masculine’ sectors persists to this day. Sadly, many women in male-dominated fields are as a result sidelined and often left out of opportunities and dialogue. Read the story of Dr. Rasha: the Jordanian #entrepreneur who was able to stand out and leave her mark as a leading pioneer in #Jordan's pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industry. This project is supported by #rdppme. 👉 LINK IN BIO

Proud to announce that we have finally submitted all entrepreneurial solutions for the three participating ministries in our Idea Bank Project in #Jordan.

During a visit with a delegation from the Council for Development Policy, #Denmark, to one of our #rdppme #Skills4Work project beneficiaries: @jumandeadsea. Through the project, the woman-led #SME received support to build its capacity to grow and absorb more labour, where it now hires #syrianrefugees and #hostcommunities in the local area, North East of Amman.

"I am very happy to have the opportunity to give back and support Jordan's young, ambitious visionaries, who have time and time again proven that they are not merely the leaders of tomorrow, but also of today" – Saif Atout, US-based consultant, who provided one of our Digital Avenue project's agencies with mentorships in marketing. After providing a comprehensive training to over 500 young Jordanians on #digitalwork, the project, funded by @usembassyjordan, selected the 10 best-performing trainees to form agencies that can bid on bigger gigs and job assignments online. LI then connected the agencies with US-based mentors like Saif to help the young digital workers in better understanding the US market and its needs to be able to tap into a world of #digiwork opportunities. #gigeconomy #jobcreation #usainjo

#Experientialtourism' is a form of #tourism where travellers actively seek out and engage in activities that make the place what it is. This includes eating #local food, learning about the history of the place, speaking to the people who live there and so on. The #travel philosophy, once solely championed by fully independent #travellers, is now also embraced by #touroperators, promising transformative #experiences that lead to some sort of discovery, insight, or inspiration. With support from @nlinjo, we develop new tourism products and offerings to facilitate experiential, local, and #sustainabletourism endeavours.

Through our #Skills4Work project in #Jordan, Firas was able to build his skills in line with those needed to secure a job at Al Baroudi factory. The project, supported by #RDPPME, supports #syrianrefugees and #hostcommunities like Firas in enhancing #employability, finding #employment opportunities, and improving #livelihoods.

Community-based tourism (CBT) is a form of tourism where local communities – often living in remote, rural areas – host travellers to stay and experience their way of life. In doing so, travellers get a real glimpse of the local experience while ensuring their visit makes a genuine difference. By enjoying local products and services, travellers invest in local communities and help them generate income streams in otherwise economically-marginalised areas.
