Main Project Objective:

The project Women on the Green Path’s main goal is to empower women by promoting their employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in the green circular economy in Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia. The initiative aims at improving economic opportunities for women, increasing gender equality and social inclusion, and promoting sustainable practices.

Transitioning towards a green economy has become a common objective within the Mediterranean region to overcome pressing challenges caused by climate change. However, insufficient funds, skills mismatch, and lack of alignment between national policies, legal frameworks and ground-based projects deter the transition towards a green and circular economy.
