Project Background:

USAID Public Financial Management and Administration (PFMA) aims to partner with USAID/Jordan and the Government of Jordan (GOJ) to improve Jordan’s revenue system and enhance its budget management process. PFMA will build the capacity of the Jordanian Ministry of Finance and other government institutions to modernize the revenue collection system, encourage compliance—including making it easier for taxpayers to comply with tax obligations—upgrade public procurement management, and improve budget planning, preparation, and execution. Key objectives include: 1) improving the revenue-raising system; 2) streamlining the budget management process; 3) optimizing public expenditure management, and 4) implementing crosscutting Public Financial Management reforms such as interventions to address COVID-19. Through a combination of technical assistance, capacity building, and facilitation, tangible and measurable results will be expected during the anticipated five-year duration of the activity.

 

To these ends, PFMA works closely with the relevant Government of Jordan entities, USAID and other donor programs to identify opportunities to improve revenues and enhance the budgeting process through building the capacity of the Ministry of Finance and other government institutions and provide on-hand support upgrading of different internal and external systems.  Additionally, USAID has managed an MOU with the Ministry of Finance under which both entities will collaborate to support the newly created Macro-Fiscal Unit (MFU) at the Ministry of Finance, to advance MOF-led commitments under the IMF Extended Fund Facility (EFF) Agreement and the implementation of the Five Years Reform Matrix.  PFMA is mandated to support two positions under the MFU.
