BACKGROUND
The Jordan Economic Reform Activity Task Order 1 (ERA TO1) is a 5-year, $54 million program funded by USAID, which aims to support the Government of Jordan (GOJ) to prioritize and implement economic reforms. Through coordination with the GOJ, the Jordanian and international private sector, other donors, and Jordanian civil society, ERA TO 1 will (1) advance economic reforms, (2) strengthen the business enabling environment, (3) increase exports and local, regional, and international investments, and (4) respond to emerging priorities.
In year 1, USAID ERA conducted a Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Analysis for five themes of ERA and identified areas of opportunities to enhance inclusion within economic reform, and specifically exports. The GESI Analysis gender and trade section included specific recommendations that focus on improving and expanding exports and investments through targeted support for gender inclusion. The findings further emphasise the need to increase GESI within Jordan Exports (JE).
OBJECTIVE
JE has the potential to extend its services and support to women-focused businesses, and to support businesses led by women and men alike. ERA will collaborate with JE to design a process that strengthens JE ownership and commitment to inclusion, including: a basic inclusion pledge that targets the main components of JE, agreeing on a gender action plan, conducting coaching and training programs on gender. This will enable JE to service and enable export-led inclusion and growth. The purpose of this scope is to strengthen institutional GESI within JE. More specifically, the main two outputs envisioned for this assignment are as follows:
The SOW will contribute to the implementation of USAID/Jordan ERA Y2 Activity 3.1.2. Roll-out a three-year inclusion action plan within JE. The results will be measured against the following indicator:
