Evidence snapshot for Amman

Amman hosts several major economic-empowerment and tech-development initiatives. Oasis500, founded in Amman in 2010, has backed 193 startups generating approximately USD 135M in follow-on funding and about 5,000 jobs across the MENA region. The Jordan Youth, Technology, and Jobs (YTJ) Project, a US$200M World Bank programme, trained 10,591 youth in digital skills and reached 402,757 school students with digital curricula, while Microfund for Women (MFW), founded in Amman in 1994, operates 60 branches across Jordan and has disbursed 1.2 million loans worth USD 827 million primarily to women entrepreneurs. These initiatives demonstrate Amman's role as a hub for digital transformation, youth employment, and women's economic empowerment, though the evidence is based on self-reported data rather than external audits.
