Managing Short-Term Experts for Entrepreneurship Policy Implementation & Support in Jordan

This Multi-Donor Action title "Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Economic Development and Employment in Jordan (E4DE)" is jointly co-financed by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ. The Joint Action aims to strengthen the employment potential through entrepreneurship in Jordan in 4 governorates, with focus on women, refugees and policy monitoring and evaluation. Geographical areas of the Joint Action are the governorates of Jerash and Mafraq in the North and Aqaba and Karak in the South. The Specific Objectives (outcome) of the Joint Action (related to EU action document) are: 1) The business environment for private sector growth is improved; 2) Entrepreneurship capacities are strengthened, and opportunities increased; 3) Employment opportunities for Jordanian and refugee (including Syrian) job seekers are increased. The Joint Action has following three outputs: Output 1: Human resource and planning capacity of public and private ecosystem stakeholders for designing support measures for entrepreneurs is strengthened. Output 2: Ecosystems for supporting entrepreneurs and business in the governorates are strengthened. Output 3: Entrepreneurs make greater use of markets and business potential in the governorates. Output 1 aims to strengthen the human and planning capacities of public and private ecosystem actors to design support measures for entrepreneurship. Under the implementation plans of the Entrepreneurship Policy adopted in 2021, entrepreneurs will have access to new information, advisory or intermediary services as well as administrative facilitation for entrepreneurship. Output 2 aims to strengthen ecosystems for entrepreneurship promotion in the governorates to improve and coordinate the supply structure of entrepreneurship support services. The central approach of the Joint Action is to provide organisational and advisory support for the sustainable establishment of entrepreneurship promotion networks or the expansion of existing networks. Output 3 aims to make greater use of market and business potentials in governorates for entrepreneurship. In particular, new ideas for business start-ups as well as ideas for the diversification of existing entrepreneurs (up to 4 years after start-up) are developed and implemented, which are geared towards sales potentials and priority sectors of the governorates. Ideas in the area of green business or those that use digital technologies or business models will be given special consideration.
