<p>Iqlaa has conducted extensive research and analysis on Jordan’s micro and small enterprise (MSE) ecosystem, including sectoral studies, ecosystem assessments, and the development of governorate-level profiles. Building on this body of evidence, Iqlaa aims to consolidate key insights into an online MSE Geographic Map.</p>
<p>The online MSE Geographic Map will visualize sectoral distributions, geographic concentrations of MSE activity, ecosystem actors, and development opportunities across Jordan’s governorates. The platform will serve as an accessible evidence-based tool to support policymakers, development partners, and market actors in understanding local economic dynamics and identifying opportunities for targeted interventions and exploring spatial patterns, trends, and relationships across integrated datasets to inform planning, policy development, and operational decision-making.</p>
<p>The MSE Geographic Map will be developed as an interactive web-based system integrated within the selected entity’s website environment to ensure long-term institutional ownership and sustainability. In parallel, structured datasets generated through the map will be shared with the CVDB Observatory (Tanmieh Tool) under the Ministry of Interior to support broader economic planning and observatory functions.</p>
<p>Through this approach, the MSE Geographic Map will support improved coordination among ecosystem actors, facilitate data-driven planning and analysis, and contribute to strengthening the MSE ecosystem across Jordan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Proposed High-Level Functions of the Map:</strong></p>
<p>The map must incorporate core functions and technical characteristics including but not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sector and Geographic Insights:</strong> Display sectoral distributions, geographic concentrations, and ecosystem dynamics across Jordan’s governorates, highlighting development opportunities through the integration of geographic data, research assessments and insights generated by Iqlaa.</li>
<li><strong>Governorate Profile Integration:</strong> Integrate structured governorate-level profiles covering sector clusters, key stakeholders, economic characteristics, and identified opportunities and challenges affecting MSEs.</li>
<li><strong>Interactive Map Interface:</strong> Provide a user-friendly interactive map interface enabling users to navigate geographic data layers and access structured information linked to each governorate.</li>
<li><strong>Data Exploration and Comparison:</strong> Enable users to explore relationships, trends, and patterns across datasets to support evidence-based analysis and decision-making.</li>
<li><strong>Stakeholder Engagement Features:</strong> Include interactive features such as filters, overlays, and clickable geographic layers to enable deeper exploration of ecosystem data.</li>
<li><strong>Sustainability and Accessibility:</strong> Ensure the MSE Geographic Map is designed to support long-term institutional hosting within the selected entity’s website environment, while maintaining accessibility for a wide range of users.</li>
<li><strong>Dynamic Data Updates:</strong> Enable periodic updates of governorate-level datasets so that the MSE Geographic Map remains a living resource for policymakers and ecosystem actors.</li>
<li><strong>Data Export for National Platforms:</strong> Ensure that datasets generated through the MSE Geographic Map can be exported in structured formats (e.g., Excel or CSV) to support integration with national systems such as the CVDB Observatory (Tanmieh Tool).</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>This map will be a pivotal tool for programmatic decision-making, promoting coordination among MSE actors and supporting interventions aimed at enhancing the MSE ecosystem in Jordan.</p>

<h4>Office/unit/project description</h4>
<p>The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Programme in Jordan aims to enhance the nation's inclusivity and resilience to achieve its national priorities, aligned with the 2030 Agenda. The Jordan Country Office focuses on key priorities, including governance and peace, inclusive growth and sustainable livelihoods, environment, renewable energy, climate change, financing for development, and SDG impact.</p>
<p>Regarding the significant challenge posed by financing for development, the 2015 Addis Ababa Action Agenda emphasized the importance of holistic approaches to financing national strategies. In response, UNDP launched Financing for Development (FfD) portfolios which include initiatives in partnership with both governmental and private stakeholders to align public and private capital flows with national development priorities and to mobilize the necessary financing for large-scale development impacts.</p>
<p>In an effort to build a coherent sustainable finance architecture, UNDP leverages its technical expertise and convening power to support the deployment of an Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) in Jordan. This government-led process unites government entities, the private sector, and development cooperation partners in devising a strategy to finance national development. To inform this strategy with data and analyses of the financing landscape, UNDP Jordan already conducted a Development Finance Assessment and complementary thematic studies. Building on these efforts, the country office is now deploying a FfD portfolio to further support the government in developing an INFF roadmap anchored with the priorities of Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision (EMV).</p>
<p>With its FfD portfolio, the country office is seeking to effectively leverage innovative financing and support investments into the green transition. UNDP Jordan is partnering with the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) toward an area-based development programme to establish a Jordan Valley Green Economic Corridor.

The IRC's MENA Early Childhood Development Portfolio The IRC's MENA Early Childhood Development (ECD) portfolio builds on over seven years of programming, starting with the Ahlan Simsim and Play to Learn initiatives, launched in 2018. These initiatives reached millions of children and caregivers with ECD services, generated a library of high-quality ECD content, and established a resource bank of proven program models. Partnerships with Ministries of Education, Health, and Social Development produced co-designed programs that are now embedded within government services across the region.
