The Jordan Economic Reform Activity Task Order 1 (ERA) 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 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.
II. Objectives
In the context of advancing the goals set forth by the National Export Strategy (NES), the Jordanian Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply (MoITS) recognizes the critical importance of fostering continuous learning and knowledge-sharing within priority industries, as identified in the Economic Modernization Vision (EMV). The global landscape of trade is evolving rapidly, with emerging challenges and opportunities that demand a proactive and informed approach by sector stakeholders.
The Export Learning Series will comprise approximately three events and emerges as a strategic response to bridge existing knowledge gaps and empower key stakeholders including, but not limited to, MoITS, industry and trade chambers and export associations, within priority industries. By delving into specific technical topics such as research and development, economic complexity, and other pivotal aspects, this initiative seeks to equip industry players with the insights and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of international trade successfully.
Furthermore, the NES emphasizes the role of informed decision-making in propelling Jordanian exports to new heights. The Export Learning Series serves as a catalyst for cultivating a culture of continuous improvement and innovation within priority industries. In doing so, it contributes to building a robust foundation that not only enhances the competitiveness of Jordanian businesses in the global market but also fosters resilience in the face of evolving trade dynamics.
By investing in knowledge-sharing and awareness-building activities, the NES aims to create a sustainable framework for long-term success in priority industries. This initiative aligns with broader national objectives, promoting economic growth, job creation, and positioning Jordan as a dynamic player in the global trade arena.
