Access is only the starting point. Evidence from the Jordan Valley shows that owning a digital financial tool does not automatically lead to its regular use for business.
Swipe through for key findings and priority actions emerging from the regional learning exchange to advance women-centred digital financial inclusion in Jordan.

Poverty is about more than how much money someone earns.
It’s being hungry. Living without electricity. A child missing school.
A good, dependable job can help change that. It can bring stability, open up choices and give people the chance to plan for the future.
Everyone deserves that chance.

Capacity to recover 1,500 tonnes of materials annually and 50 green jobs are among the targets of the EU-funded 9Rs project in Aqaba.
This builds on UNDP’s work in Jordan since 2015 to move from safer waste disposal towards systems that recover resources, reduce costs and support green livelihoods.
The 9Rs Creative Circular Economy Centre, currently under development through UNDP’s partnership with the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA), is designed to support resource efficiency, innovation and green entrepreneurship.
During her visit to Aqaba, UN Assistant Secretary-General Susan Brown, Director of UNDP’s Bureau of External Relations and Advocacy, visited the centre’s construction site to review progress in its development.

UNDP signed an agreement with the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature to advance this work under the Canada-funded “EmBRACE” project, connecting habitat protection with ecotourism and livelihood opportunities.
The Aqaba Marine Reserve was recently inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. @UNDPJordan, working with the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) and partners, helped lay the foundations for this milestone through conservation, science and sustainable management.

Green enterprises and jobs, climate resilience and sustainable resource management are central to @UNDPJordan’s support for Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision. Its Country Programme (2023–2027) contributes across all eight growth drivers, with the strongest contributions to Green Jordan and Sustainable Resources.
Connecting these priorities with coordinated UN support and development financing was the focus of exchanges convened by UNDP in Amman.

Protecting Jordan’s heritage from climate impacts preserves its cultural identity and safeguards its legacy for future generations.
As part of the @MoENVJo efforts to develop Jordan’s third Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0), in collaboration with @UNDPJordan and with support from the @theGCF , the cultural heritage and tourism sector consultations brought national institutions and stakeholders together to review climate risks and adaptation priorities for the sector.
Discussions focused on protecting heritage sites from climate impacts and strengthening the resilience of tourism activities and the jobs they support. These consultations help shape national climate priorities that support cultural heritage conservation, sustainable tourism and local communities’ livelihoods.

Access to digital financial and banking services is only the starting point.
Meaningful inclusion depends on whether women can use these services safely, confidently and regularly to support their businesses and economic activities.
@UNDPJordan and the @UNDP -hosted @BetterThan_Cash , in collaboration with UNDP’s Regional Bureau for Arab States, convened the regional learning exchange, “From Pilot to Policy:
Lessons from Jordan for Advancing Women-Centred Digital Financial Inclusion Across the Arab States”.
The exchange brought together policymakers, regulators, financial service providers, women entrepreneurs, development partners and practitioners.
Drawing on the SDG Digital Finance Ecosystem Assessment, the Jordan Valley pilot and perspectives from across the region, discussions focused on the practical policy, product, infrastructure and financial capability measures needed to close the gap between access, initial adoption and sustained use in Jordan, while drawing lessons that can inform women-centred approaches across the Arab States. – at Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
