FemPawer Jordan The Programme MENA Feminist Power in Action for Women’s Economic Rights (Fem PAWER) will strengthen young women who face multiple discrimination1 of economic gender-based violence (E/GBV) in the MENA specific countries (Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Tunisia) to be the leader for change by holding duty bearers accountable and improve conditions for young women in the informal sector. This through strengthening women economic empowerment (WEE), in this Programme reflected through leadership strengthening, challenging prevailing social norms and hence gender equality, and promoting women’s economic rights (WER). The overall goal of the Program is: Gender-responsive accountability mechanisms for WEE (Women Economic Empowerment) at multiple levels in MENA specific countries (Jordan, Lebanon, Occupied Palestinian Territories and Tunisia) are established.
A framework of four interlinked and mutually reinforcing intermediate changes have been identified and designed to enable progress for gender-responsive accountability based on the needs of young women.
- Outcome 1 is to establish safe and secure space for the young women and WROs to develop mobilization and advocacy strategies to hold decisions makers accountable.
- Outcome 2 is addressing innovative and inclusive learning / leadership for all level of the Consortium and Program.
- Outcome 3 is addressing target-led capacities in advocacy, alliance building, social mobilization and inclusive leadership for young women and the WROs that will be the Partner Organizations of the Program.
- Outcome 4 is addressing the target led mobilization and advocacy interventions at multiple levels. Young women champions for Women Economic Rights: The Programme will directly target young women with disability, and rural / refugees (20 per country and around 80 in the region) to become ‘champions’ to organise, both, country and regional networks in tackling E/GBV and promote WER. 

Women Rights Organisations: Local CBOs and plural in/formal networks are the most vital actor in the Programme. Approximately 12 local WROs per country will be selected representing the diversity of the WRO landscape in each country. The aim is that they further will engage young women within their communities to become engaged in parts of the Programme through subgranting.
