Commitment to Gender Equality and Inclusion

NTU Commitment to Gender Equality and Inclusion

With staff, experts, and partners working globally, we recognize that diverse perspectives are essential for the quality and impact of our work. Building inclusive teams is not just a value we endorse, but a foundation for how we deliver sustainable solutions in complex development contexts.

In line with this vision, NTU has prepared its Gender Equality Plan. The plan will serve as a strategic framework to strengthen equality, fairness, and inclusiveness within our organization and in the projects we deliver.

The NTU Gender Equality Plan objectives are:

• Define institutional commitments to gender equality, as endorsed by senior management.
• Establish practical measures to promote balance in recruitment, leadership opportunities, and professional development.
• Integrate gender-sensitive approaches into our project design and implementation, reflecting the realities of the societies where we work.
• Provide clear roles and responsibilities for implementation, ensuring accountability across the company.
• Introduce monitoring and reporting mechanisms so that progress can be measured and transparently communicated.

Our approach is pragmatic: NTU focuses on actions that are realistic, measurable, and meaningful, while staying aligned with the European Commission’s principles on gender equality.

By adopting this Gender Equality Plan, NTU reaffirms its belief that an inclusive workplace is also a stronger, more innovative, and more sustainable one. Gender equality is not only an institutional priority, but also an integral part of the values we bring to every project and partnership.
