Our Work

Edmaaj conducted a two-phased Participatory Gender Audit (PGA) for the Jordan Municipal Support Project (JMSP), implemented by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Administration (MoLA). The audit focused on the Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) and aimed to strengthen the Ministry’s capacity to institutionalize gender-sensitive practices across its policies, programs, and operations.

The audit promoted organizational learning on gender mainstreaming and assessed how effectively gender equality principles were embedded within MoLA’s structures and strategies. Edmaaj conducted a comprehensive review of internal policies and documents, developed a tailored gender policy for the SWMU, and ensured that gender considerations were integrated into all aspects of the unit’s planning and implementation processes.

Edmaaj also facilitated capacity-building workshops and refresher sessions for SWMU staff, focusing on PGA tools, gender mainstreaming strategies, and practical implementation approaches. The audit contributed to aligning MoLA’s operations with national and international gender equality commitments and building a foundation for long-term institutional change.
