Enhancing the dairy processing skills and market access of rural women in Jordan

This report presents the findings of the socioeconomic, dairy processing and marketing conditions of women in four communities in the Karak Governorate of Jordan. It is part of a project targeting rural women that develops and pilot tests technological and institutional options for improving the small-scale processing and marketing of dairy products from sheep and goats. The four communities selected to participate in the study were Al-Jad’aa, Mhai, Adr, and Al-Rabba. The review team conducted two rapid rural appraisals with focus groups and one individual interview with a key informant in each of the communities. Although both men and woman are involved in dairy processing, the majority of the work is undertaken by women. The vast majority of the dairy products are sold at markets, generating an additional source of household income.
