A key aspect of our work in private sector development is improving the domestic business environment and reducing obstacles to trade. Our programs address legal and regulatory issues impeding private sector development. What’s more, we build capacity and understanding in government agencies so they can serve as public sector partners in fostering economic growth.
As the prime implementer of the Jordan-U.S. Business Partnership Program, we assisted the Industrial Development Directorate at the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIT) in training its staff, helped restructure the different directorates within MIT, draft a National Industrial Policy, establish the E-Government Initiative and upgrade the Internal Quality System within MIT. We also bolstered business support organizations that facilitated dialogue between the IESC-supported industries and the government.
