The Program / Department / Team
USAID Informal Livelihoods Advancement Activity (Iqlaa) is a five-year USAID-funded program that aims to support Jordan's home-based businesses (HBBs) and Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) to grow, transform, and become resilient to future shocks. HBBs and MSEs are essential drivers of employment and economic stability in Jordan. Micro and small enterprises represent 98 percent of all businesses in Jordan and compose half of the country’s private sector employment. Therefore, the Iqlaa approach places formal and informal Jordanian HBBs and MSEs on a path to recovery, stabilization, and growth, focusing on four critical sectors: agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and services, with special attention to technology development and implementation. Iqlaa works to implement best practices in crisis response, enterprise strengthening, inclusive job creation, and financial sector development within a market-systems development (MSD) framework and leveraging innovative behavioral change methodologies to facilitate long-term, sustainable changes in the behaviors or stakeholders and beneficiaries that align better with the current needs of Jordan’s MSEs. Iqlaa will offer bundled support through technical assistance and grants. The program will work with market sector actors to offer five main grants: formalization, start-up funding, business Growth, innovation & Scale, and technology Integration.
