Brief about the project:
The GIZ-implemented Trade for Employment (T4E) project focuses on developing capacities and strengthening structures in a sustainable manner to enable Jordanian companies to enhance their trade performance and generate additional employment opportunities.
The project works to achieve this goal in several ways. It is supporting the private sector to create a trade-friendly business environment by developing the negotiating capacities of chambers and business associations through institutionalising dialogue with the government. It also seeks to improve the availability and quality of demand-driven trade-related services, identify and resolve existing barriers to trade, and develop action plans to facilitate export procedures and reduce trade costs and shorten the timeframe of trade processes in line with the World Trade Organisation – Trade Facilitation Agreement (WTO TFA). Finally, the project strives to improve recruitment procedures in trade-oriented businesses, with a focus on employment services and the placement of Jordanian jobseekers and Syrian refugees, to address the high turnover of employees in the industrial sector and eventually close the gap between jobseekers and employers.
T4E project is commissioned by German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) (lead donor and the World Economic Forum (WEF) – Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation. The project’s political partner is the Ministry of Industry Trade and Supply (MoITS) and is implemented from 2017 – October 2025.
