In 2018, SSIF launched a Woman Empowerment guidelines deed that sets the framework for the Fund’s top management to develop plans and programs addressed to its female staff in the areas of leadership, gender equality to unleash their full potential, and support their career advancement on equal basis of their male colleagues. It’s worth mentioning that the number of female staff is 42 out of 120, 33% of them are in top and middle management positions.

Women Empowerment Programs:

SSIF is collaboration with the UN Women to support the implementation of SDG No. 5 on Gender Equality.  In July 2020, SSIF and UN Women Jordan launched the Women’s Leadership Development Program, with the participation of 17 female employees of the Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF) and the Social Security Corporation (SSC). This program aimed to build the capacity of SSIF and Social Security Corporation female staff to access senior roles, responsibilities and leadership positions.

The program that is executed by UN Women‎ reflects the Fund’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 5 on gender equality and women’s empowerment, and the importance of promoting equal opportunities for women and men in all fields.

The Fund also participates in specialized conferences and workshops aimed at empowering women and promoting dialogue on women’s economic and social empowerment‎, in a discrimination-free environment.
