EU Support to Jordanian Democratic Institutions and Development

This project sought to support Jordan’s consolidation of deep democracy and promote inclusiveness of national policy and decision making processes in an attempt to further engage women and youth so as to forester a stronger, more democratic and tolerant political culture. It was based on the European Response to Electoral Cycle Support Strategy designed by the EPD consortium and led by the European Center for Electoral Support. It sought to comply with EU priorities and methodology for democracy and electoral support. For more information see the EU-JDID Factsheet.
