UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Peace and Security is one of five thematic areas of UN Women’s strategic plan, and an area in which UN Women coordinates and leads the UN system.

In Jordan, UN Women is coordinating a multi-country programme that seeks to leverage theglobal normative framework on women, peace and security to address the women’s rights and gender equality challenges faced in the Arab region by countries both affected by crisis and transition, and those supporting communities displaced by crisis. To this end it targets Iraq and Tunisia as countries in crisis and transition, and Jordan — in its role responding to the Syria crisis. This multi-country programme aims to create the space, opportunities and support to amplify women’s leadership in the areas of conflict prevention, humanitarian engagement, conflict resolution and long-term peacebuilding in the region. It supports national bodies, governments and civil society to call for and ensure the implementation of the global commitments on women, peace and security. In addition to its coordination role, UN Women Jordan is also responsible for the direct implementation of the Jordanian component of the programme, which mainly aims to support the development and the implementation of a National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325 (JONAP).
C Jordan is also one of the priority countries of the Global Acceleration Instrument (GAl) on Women, Peace and Security, a new pooled funding mechanism established following the 15 year review of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000). Composed of representatives from donors, United Nations entities, and civil society organizations, the GAl aims to re energize action and stimulate a significant increase in financing for women and their organizations to enhance their capacity to prevent conflict, respond to crises and emergencies, and seize key peacebuilding opportunities. At country level, a National Steering Committee manages the country allocation and decides on the projects to be funded by the GAl. UN Women serves as both the Secretariat of the National Steering Committee that gives orientations on the country allocation,
and the Management Entity for civil society organizations beneficiaries of the fund.

Furthermore, Jordan is one the five “pathfinding countries” of UN Women’s new global Flagship Programme on Women’s Engagement in omen, Peace, Security and Recovery (WPSR), and whose objective is to bring transformative change through convening partners around an overarching theory of Change based on the five pillars of the women, peace and security agenda: National Action Plans, conflict prevention, women’s participation in peace processes, protection against human rights violations and sexual and gender based violence and women’s contribution to peacebuilding and recovery.
