NDI Jordan recently held the first event of its new speaker series under the Women Helping Women (WHW) project last week, focusing on “The Impact of the Global Financial and Economic Crisis on Jordan.” Three women economic experts and practitioners spoke at the event, and participants included around 25 members of political parties and civic groups. Participants commended NDI and WHW for highlighting women who excel in their respective fields, including economics, and recognized the program’s work in changing attitudes about women in Jordanian society.
