This assessment carried out by the Energy Sector Capacity Building Activity (ESCB) in early 2014 aimed to understand the challenges and opportunities faced by women working with energy service providers (ESPs) in Jordan. The team conducted interviews with ESPs, as well as with women who work in the energy sector, to determine how HR policies, job requirements and company culture work to support or hinder the hiring, retention and advancement of women within private companies. The team also met with other actors (universities, micro-lenders, women's professional associations etc.) to determine the type of support available to women as they move into the sector and advance,
and the role that ESCB can play in further developing and coordinating this support.
