About the Jordan Growth and Prosperity Programme

ASI is seeking candidates across a range of technical areas to deliver FCDO’s Jordan Growth and Prosperity Programme, a forthcoming economic and private sector development programme intended to strengthen Jordan’s economic resilience and enable job-rich growth. The programme is expected to support both the Government of Jordan and the private sector through two complementary areas of work:

·       Macro-level advisory support to maintain macroeconomic stability, improve debt management, and reduce fiscal pressures; and

·       Micro-level Market Systems Development (MSD) interventions in selected sectors to foster productive, inclusive private-sector-led growth. There will be a particular focus on enhancing trade and exports.

Call for Experts

ASI is building a diverse roster of core team members and technical experts to support the anticipated Jordan Growth and Prosperity Programme.

Experts may be engaged during programme inception and implementation, subject to programme award and needs. We particularly welcome candidates with experience in Jordan, but will also consider experts from the Middle East and comparable economic development contexts.

We are seeking experts across the following technical areas. In your application, please clearly state what technical areas you are applying for.
