The boardroom is where strategic decisions are made, governance applied, and risk overseen. Globally, there has been progress by increasing the percentage of women on boards from 20.4% in 2018 to 23.3% in 2020, and projections to reach 30% and 50% in 2029 and 2045.
Unfortunately, the percentage of women on corporate boards in Jordan remains one of the lowest in the world and does not exceed 3.5% (according to a report by IFC and the Jordan Institute of Directors in 2015), which means that women are not part of the decision-making process.
