AMMAN — Jordan Institute of Public Administration (JIPA) and the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW) on Monday signed an agreement to provide training services to develop the capabilities of women in senior government positions.

The agreement was signed by Minister of Public Sector development Khleef Al Khawaldeh and JNCW Secretary General Salma Nims, a statement issued by the ministry said.

Khawaldeh said the ministry has included a project to empower women in the civil service sector in its 2015-2016 executive programme, adding that the project seeks to increase the number of women in the public sector and empower them to be leaders.

Under the agreement, the statement said, JIPA will conduct a field survey to identify the training needs of female government employees in the northern governorates. A total of 120 female employees would receive training under the agreement.
