Adolescent and Youth Engagement and Participation Programme

21st century skills for a generation of young people

Highlights

Young people between 15 and 24 years old account for 20% of the Jordanian population. The demographic distribution of the population has put immense strain on the country’s economical landscape, as there are insufficient jobs created every year to accommodate youth entering the labour force.
In 2019, 86,783 young people (54 per cent girls) participated in the Life Skills and Social Innovation Programme.
The programme equips young people with skills, knowledge, and mindsets to unleash their full potential.
