Economic Development

The AMIR Program was a four-year economic opportunities project implemented in partnership with the Jordanian private sector and various ministries and departments of the Government of Jordan which focused on promoting economic growth in Jordan through the development of a more favorable environment for business – stimulating increased investment and enabling the private sector to meet the challenges of economic globalization. AMIR 2.0 was designed to help Jordan achieve the capacity for sustained, higher economic growth rates that are private sector-led, employment generating and equitable. In particular, the project focused on supporting the growth of micro- and small enterprises (MSE).

Al Jidara provided a wide array of technical support support, including identifying policy reforms to liberalize restrictive trade and investment practices, capacity development for the Jordan Loan Guarantee Corporation and the Central Bank of Jordan, and the Jordan Investment Board to ensure sustainable economic growth. Activities included introducing international best practices, developing investment promotion and facilitation strategies, and providing techniques for investment promotion and investment targeting.
