Jordan

In Jordan , unemployment among young people remains high and society still imposes restrictions on the activities of adolescent girls. In addition, there are few government programmes aimed at meeting the development and participation rights of adolescents, especially girls.

A project entitled Promoting and Enhancing the Health and Well-Being of Jordanian Young People was launched in 2001. Its goal is to empower at least 35,000 adolescents by the end of the project. A national survey was conducted to identify risky behavior and drug abuse patterns among young people and address their concerns.
