Tamkeenoha Initiative

Madaba, Balqa

Funded by The Royal Hashemite Court, the initiative aims to empower local authorities to facilitate zero interest loans for local community women, across Madaba and Balqa, which in turn would create sustainable income-generating projects that would leverage livelihoods of families and individuals across the two governorates. JRF’s mandate revolves around enhancing the developmental role of women's associations by managing loan portfolios as well as building institutional capacities, mainly in portfolio and project management, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The project’s main objectives include: strengthening the role of local development bodies, building a credit system serving villages in Madaba and Balqa, and leveraging the economic empowerment of women through the development and implementation of sustainable income-generating projects and feasibility studies.
