Jordan: Fiscal Reform II (2009-2013)

The Kingdom of Jordan has an ambitious agenda for accelerating economic growth, promoting social inclusion, and stimulating social and political development. The agenda entails helping Jordanian Customs in modernizing operations, meeting international commitments, and facilitating trade.

Under this USAID-funded project, the DAI/Nathan Group is helping Customs to implement single window procedures, draft laws that meets international obligations, expand the country’s Gold List program and mutual recognition of Jordan under the SAFE Framework of Standards, and strengthen risk management and Customs’ relationships with customs brokers.

The project is expected to improve government effectiveness and the business environment and, ultimately, create the conditions necessary to attract investment, create jobs, spur growth, and improve the Jordanian standard of living.
