Through its groundbreaking Inform Women, Transform Lives campaign, The Carter Center partners with city leaders worldwide to raise awareness about women’s right to access information and to help cities reach women with valuable information and essential municipal services.

Access to this information empowers women with a stronger voice, enabling them to participate in public life, utilize public services, and make more informed decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities. In Jordan, the project has collaborated with the city of Amman.

In January 2013, at the invitation of Jordan’s Independent Election Commission, The Carter Center deployed a small team of analysts to conduct a study mission of Jordan’s parliamentary elections. The mission focused on several key issues in the electoral process in the context of broader political reforms. These included the legal framework of elections, boundary delimitation, election administration, the role of gender, over- and underrepresented groups, and the electoral dispute resolution process.
