What we do

Our nine practice areas

Every engagement ends with something the institution keeps: an approved structure, a study, a documented system, or a trained team able to carry the work on after the project closes.

Organisational developmentStrengthening leadership, streamlining operations and building a culture of continuous improvement, so the organisation runs on documented systems rather than on particular individuals.
HR management consultingBuilding HR systems and redesigning job descriptions and structures. We have done this for entire government directorates.
Field and survey researchData gathered from the field itself: baseline studies, needs analysis and the surveys that programme decisions rest on.
Feasibility studies and project evaluationThe feasibility study that settles whether a project is worth doing, and evaluation of running projects to measure what has actually been achieved.
Project managementManaging the project lifecycle from planning to closure, meeting donor requirements and reporting obligations throughout.
Capacity building and economic empowermentProgrammes for start-ups, small and medium enterprises and home-based businesses, delivered by more than 150 trainers and consultants.
Women’s empowerment and genderGender equality and women’s economic empowerment programmes, including gender-based violence (GBV) awareness and case management.
CSR and the Sustainable Development GoalsDesigning corporate social responsibility programmes and tying them to the SDGs with indicators that can actually be measured.
Quality systems and excellence awardsBuilding quality management systems, TQM and ISO, and qualification for excellence awards under the EFQM model.

From our work

Promoting inclusive employment in the industrial sector

Workplace inclusion and the green transition in Jordanian industry

Sarh International delivered the “Promoting Inclusive Employment Opportunities in the Industrial Sector” initiative under GIZ’s GAIN and WoMENA projects, in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and the Arab Women Organization. The work included awareness sessions for industrial companies, among them a session in Aqaba on inclusive and gender-responsive workplace practices, alongside the Inclusive Business Growth Programme, which helps companies attract qualified talent and build more diverse workplaces.

The initiative closed with an event held under the patronage of the Ministry of Environment, recognising the participating industrial companies and business development service providers, and reviewing the results, success stories and lessons learned.
