Description

The informal livelihoods advancement activity iqlaa is a five-year activity that aims to put jordanian micro and small enterprises (mses) on a path to recovery after the extraordinary crisis that the businesses have faced, help them access the safety net measures in jordan, and, most importantly, regain productivity and growth. The proposed design will integrate key learnings from the local enterprise support (lens) activity, scale up previous USAID interventions in the areas of informal MES, and expand some of its pilot activities, such as home based businesses support and micro-franchising in local economies. The proposed new design will consist of activities and grants to get micro and small enterprises back to work, link them back to markets, and put them on a track to formalization and growth. Through these initiatives, the activity will ultimately help to stabilize the economic situation in jordan.
