That work runs from 60-hour training programmes across ten governorates to the KIP Index, the first sector-based benchmark of workplace inclusivity across eleven Arab countries. We deliver it with partners including USAID, GIZ, UNIDO, the World Economic Forum, and Jordan's Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply — and we measure it where it counts: inclusive HR policies adopted, businesses formalised, and women hired, retained, and promoted.
