MENA
Project context
The Collective Leadership Institute worked with 120 people from the water sector in Jordan on a participatory research (multi-stakeholder dialogue) where the ideas of all involved were counted in with the purpose of establishing a network. The Water Wise Women Initiative was empowered to actively engage, interact, and gain trust with its partners in its communities and at the national level. The Initiative participants learned how to base their work on the dialogic approach and adapt it to the needs of a community of 50 countrywide development centres. The WWWI subsequently established a national network institution that also ensures local women’s participation in public life. The results were an increased water use efficiency of households and communities and a direct impact on gender relations in Jordan.
