Trade for Employment (T4E)

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has commissioned GIZ to implement the Trade for Employment (T4E) project. Further, T4E is co-financed by the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The project addresses companies with export experience, whose markets collapsed due to the region"s current geopolitical situation, as well as exporting companies aiming to access new markets with improved or newly developed products. Additionally, vulnerable Jordanians and Syrian job seekers are supported through the project to find decent employment, particularly in trade-oriented companies. The project implements measures in four outcome areas. In outcome area (A), the project assists the private sector with shaping general conditions conducive to trade (until end of 2021). In Outcome area (B) seeks to develop new demand-based trade promotion services and improve existing ones.
