Project Background:

The Jordan Public Financial Management Activity (PFMA) aims to work in partnership with USAID/Jordan and the Government of Jordan (GOJ) to improve Jordan’s revenue system and enhance their 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;

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 are expected during the anticipated five-year duration of the activity.

Position Description:

The Procurement Officer is responsible for ensuring integrity, accuracy, fairness, and openness in all project procurement processes as well as adherence to DAI policies, procedures, and controls.
