From safer chemical use to fairer working conditions, the guide equips inspectors, employers & workers with solutions to prevent accidents & diseases.
Part of the @DutchMFA's #PROSPECTSpartnership, it marks a key step toward safer jobs for all agricultural workers in Jordan.
The @ilo, with Jordan’s @MofLabour & @ministryofagri1, launched a new Occupational Safety & Health Guide for Agriculture, providing practical tools to improve safety, reduce risks & promote #DecentWork in one of Jordan’s most at-risk sectors. Read more: https://t.co/aYcmDTVC4B
The revised law ensures equal representation on the JCC board—including women—and better aligns with international principles. Backed by the #PROSPECTSpartnership, this milestone supports a more inclusive, responsive cooperative movement for all. 🌍👩🏽🌾👨🦽#SocialJustice
Why this matters: Agriculture OSH laws in Jordan used to focus on chemicals, not workers’safety. To bridge the gap, the ILO with the support of @Dutchmfa developed a guide to protect farmers & workers. New ToTs is training inspectors & stakeholders on using this guide effectively
Strengthening #OSH in agriculture! We run a 5-day Training of Trainers on occupational safety & health for agriculture. Participants include:
✅Ministry of Agriculture staff
✅Agriculture trade unions
✅Cooperatives
✅Jordan Agriculture Engineers Association

Through ILO tools https://t.co/3i2NWmXr8L, https://t.co/Xn9wToQUb7, https://t.co/2q9nbrwNCW we will train cooperatives, fight poverty & create jobs in Jordan. Together, through the cooperative movement, we can build a brighter & just future,”
- Regional Director Ruba Jaradat.
The @ilo and @jcc_of_jordan have signed a new 3⃣-year agreement to strengthen cooperatives in #Jordan, focusing on training, governance, and digital tools.
Supported by @DutchMFA under the #PROSPECTSPartnership, this aims to promote decent work and empower cooperatives.
With @DutchMFA, we started this week an ILO AIMS training programme, both theory & practice, with @ITCILO to equip local experts.
This will boost Phase 2⃣ of the project, driving inclusive market growth & improving livelihoods for Jordanian host communities & Syrian refugees.
In 2022, we conducted a value chain analysis in agriculture in #Jordan. But gaps in local expertise hindered its implementation.
Now, PROSPECTS Jordan is using ILO's Approach to Inclusive Market System Methods (AIMS) to build a pool of local experts to ensure success.
