Ce projet soutient l'initiative Jumpstart visant à assurer une croissance durable et inclusive parmi les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) jordaniennes. Ce projet soutient le renforcement des capacités des PME jordaniennes et sert de catalyseur pour les capitaux d'investissement afin de combler le déficit de financement auquel sont confrontées les PME. Il vise à améliorer l'accès à des emplois de qualité grâce à une augmentation de la création d'emplois et à l'autonomisation économique des femmes et des jeunes, contribuant ainsi au domaine d'action « Croissance qui profite à tous » de la Politique d'aide internationale féministe.

This project supports the Jumpstart project to provide sustainable and inclusive growth among Jordan’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This project supports capacity-building among Jordanian SMEs and serves as a catalyst for investment capital to close the funding gap facing SMEs. It aims to improve access to quality jobs through increased job creation and the economic empowerment of women and youth, thus contributing to the Growth that Works for Everyone Action Area of the Feminist International Assistance Policy.
