On 28 October, the EU Ambassador Pierre-Christophe Chatzisavas, together with 20 young Jordanians from the EU Jeel Connect Network travelled around Amman and visited 3 impactful EU-funded projects that are truly changing lives in Jordan.

From green solutions to empowering women and improving livelihoods, we had the opportunity to interact with project beneficiaries, hear powerful stories and share meaningful moments.

1^st project: The EU-funded Green Links Project aims to promote sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and green economy initiatives in the resource-strained Azraq and Zarqa regions, which host many Syrian refugees. Running from September 2023 to August 2025, the project addresses challenges in the energy, water, and food sectors through innovative resource management solutions and promoting a nexus approach.

2^nd project: the EU-funded project "Resilience and empowerment of vulnerable women: the future of Jordan's growth and stability" addresses the training and skill development of vulnerable women in some of Jordan’s most impoverished areas

3^rd project: the EU-funded project "B-LIEVE: Increasing Livelihood Income and Empowerment for Eliminating Vulnerability in Jordan" works to improve the economic empowerment and social inclusion of the most vulnerable groups in Jordan. The end beneficiaries are a diverse group of vulnerable communities: including women, PwDs, former inmates and at-risk youth. The project delivers a mix of activities: financial and psychosocial support, improved access to education, training and mentoring, and self-employment opportunities (online freelancing and micro-entrepreneurship). The global objective is the social and economic integration of the beneficiaries.
