Progress towards the achievement of the outcome is on track. The Government of Jordan and official institutions demonstrated increased accountability to gender responsive policies and plans. This has been evident through their endorsement of a number of national plans and mechanisms that were developed in a participatory approach. Women from different governorates, young females and women with disabilities participated in the development of these plans and mechanisms and ensured that their needs were reflected. This included the IMC's endorsement of the Jordanian National Action Plan on the implementation of UNSCR 1325 on Women Peace and Security, the GBD's endorsement of the gender responsive budgeting approach, methodology and tools which reflects increased commitment to utilize efficient financial allocations to better adhere to GEWE obligations and priorities, in addition to the IEC's increased accountability and commitment to the principles of inclusive electoral processes with specific attention to creating an enabling environment for women’s effective engagement in elections and political parties. UN Women intends to leverage its support to national partners in the field of gender-responsive governance, especially after the institutionalization of this program through successful resource mobilization efforts of JCO.Disclaimer and notes
