11. Achievements by end Phase III:
Water Wise Women Initiative (WWWI):
• A Network of Water Wise Women (WWW) consisting of at least 7 community
development centers is established and queries raised by the WWW are
addressed by water institutions (2010: No relevant activities; 2014: Formal
MWI, WAJ statements).
Other awareness activities:
• Advanced training on “Plumbing Skills” is conducted for Jordanian women in
selected communities.
26.02.11
26.02.11 Seite
12. Who are the WWW?
• Active female volunteers who are coming to the JOHUD-Centers to participate in
community work.
Why focusing on women?
• Women are the decision makers for water management at household level.
• Women are the end-users of the scarce water resources; hence their interaction to
save/protect water is crucial for MWI and WAJ and in line with the national water
strategy.
• Women are responsible for raising and educating the next generations.
How is the WWWI working?
According to the “snow-ball-effect”:
• 5 trainers
• 135 WWW
• 2,700 Housewives
• 13,500 outreach into families and communities
26.02.11 Seite
13. Looking forward: Focus on networking WWW groups
• Further supporting the links between WWW groups and the respective water
providers in their communities (e.g. printing an extract of WAJ guide focusing
on topics relevant for WWW to be distributed by WWW in their communities to
enhance the relation between WWW groups and water providers).
• Forming a WWW Forum, consisting of respectively 2 elected women from
each location, representing their WWW groups and communities.
• Further supporting the links between WWW groups and the official decision
makers at the MWI (e.g. regular meetings of WWW Forum with SG MWI,
participation in events prepared by MWI and WAJ.
Other awareness activities planned in the second half of 2012:
• Training of women on “Advanced Plumbing Skills” in Sep/Oct 2012 in
cooperation with Vocational Training Corporation (VTC) as a first step to
encourage women to enter in this business and register at VTC to become
certified female plumber.
