aman

by Sallam Alnawaiseh from jordan

While beautiful, Jordan suffers from a lack of safe road infrastructure and insufficient traffic enforcement. Because of this, the project “Aman” looks to empower local youth to take action on these issues by providing them with the resources and knowledge they need to advocate for policy change in road safety.

Efforts to empower local youth will be seen through training workshops and mentoring sessions that will be designed to develop advocacy and activism skills.

The project aims to engage a wide range of stakeholders from local youth to government officials and give them support to work together to improve road safety. This will be done through awareness-raising campaigns, youth empowerment, and infrastructure change.
