Jordan has been facing a challenging set of developmental obstacles, including the COVID-19 pandemic, that threaten progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is well developed and diversified in the capital, Amman, but lacks support structures, international networking opportunities, matchmaking formats, and funding opportunities for start-ups and founders in rural areas in the governorate outside of Amman. Moreover, there is a lack of innovative ideas and business models are primarily oriented towards local markets only, with a lack of involvement from the private sector in promoting start-ups.
This Multi-Donor Action “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 is conceptualised as an accompanying measure to the EU’s and the German Federal Government’s assistance to Jordan. 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.
