    The USAID Takamol-Gender Program is a flagship initiative focused on gender equity and female empowerment in Jordan. It is funded by USAID and implemented by IREX. It works to build the capacity of Jordanian partners throughout the country, including the Jordanian National Commission for Women, Jordanian government ministries, national-level CSOs, local community based organizations, and universities. As Content Strategy Specialist I worked closely with all departments but in particular with the Research and Communications unit and in close coordination with the Chief of Party. I planned and undertook all communication outputs internal and external, digital and otherwise. The scope of work included training and mentoring junior staff, managing campaigning efforts, media analysis, developing communications tools, and coordinating with other units to curate, develop and disseminate relevant content to partners and the public.
