Under a contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), ICMA is participating in the Jordan Local Enterprise Support (USAID LENS) Project, which is designed to improve the economic resilience of vulnerable and underserved populations in Jordan, including women and youth, and facilitate their participation in economic growth.

ICMA members and other volunteers traveled to Jordan this spring to work on community economic development initiatives. Learn what participants (Dean Shankle, town administrator, Hooksett, N.H.; Katie Rosengren, project coordinator, Hooksett; and Daniel Hummel, professor of public administration, Idaho State University) have to say about their experience in Jordan through their blog posts.
