Since December 2012, Al Hendawi worked as Team Leader at a World Bank-funded program to the Arab League on Institutional Development to Strengthen Arab Policy and Participation.
Al Hendawi is a strong youth advocate at the national, regional and international levels. He was among the cofounders of All Jordan Youth Commission and the Youth for Democracy Network at the Jordanian Commission for Democratic Culture which he headed. Internationally, he is a cofounder of the International Youth Council, based in New York, the Diplomatic Courier selection of Hidawi said.
