<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><a name="x__Toc235260202" ><b><span >About Iqlaa Activity</span></b></a></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The Informal Livelihoods Advancement Activity (Iqlaa), funded by the United States Government is a five-year program that started in May 2022 and aims to support Jordan's HBBs and MSEs to grow, transform, and become resilient to future challenges.

<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><a name="x__Toc235260203" ><b><span >Activity Background</span></b></a><b><span ><a name="x__heading=h.qhwqzuh4ids7" ></a></span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The Informal Livelihoods Advancement Activity (Iqlaa) aims to strengthen the resilience of MSEs in Jordan and ability to grow and expand their businesses. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >This will be achieved by enhancing MSEs ecosystem and enhancing their ability to access local and export markets, in addition to better access to finance. A key strategy for achieving this goal is the establishment of <b>a dynamic and responsive Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) process that is MSE-centric. </b>This process will address the unique challenges faced by MSEs through a constructive dialogue among relevant stakeholders within the public and private sector initiated by the MSEs formal representative entities. This will help MSEs address their critical challenges and capitalize on rising opportunities tailored to their needs, thereby enhancing the economic ecosystem. By doing so, it will better support both formal and informal MSEs, ultimately fostering their economic resilience and growth.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >PPD unites government entities, private sector participants, and relevant stakeholders in a structured and formal process to collaboratively address and resolve specific issues. This collective engagement aims to achieve common objectives and drive transformative changes in targeted areas by leveraging the combined expertise and resources of all parties involved.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >MSEs account for 98 percent of the country’s businesses, employ approximately 60 percent of the private sector workforce, and contribute 50 percent of the national GDP.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Despite their significant role, current PPD platforms predominantly address the concerns of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), lacking adequate representation and focus on MSEs.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Recognizing the vital role of MSEs in Jordan's economy, Iqlaa aims to institutionalize an organic and decentralized model of PPD that enables sector-based dialogues to be led by MSEs’ representative actors across priority economic sectors and is anchored by a pool of certified PPD experts, through the following three-pronged approach:</span></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Establishing a standardized PPD process</span></b><span > with clear roles, procedures, and dialogue cycles that can be adopted beyond the life of the program which will formulate the core of the accredited PPD training program. The standardized PPD process will be developed based on national Occupational Standard (NOS) for the PPD profession in Jordan issued by the AQAC.</span></li>
<li class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Introducing a pool of qualified PPD Experts</span></b><span >: Iqlaa and in collaboration with the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission have developed Jordan’s first National Occupational Standard (NOS) for the PPD profession in Jordan “PPD NOS”.</span></li>
</ol>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Iqlaa will enable the certification of a pool of (45-60) PPD experts who will be trained on the established PPD process. Those experts will in turn act as a pool of PPD experts available in the market to be contracted as PPD consultants and/or facilitators or trainers who will remain a reference expertise for the PPD process after the lifetime of Iqlaa.</span></p>
<ol start="3" type="1">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><u><span >Introduce the PPD process to relevant representative entities</span></u></b><b><span >: </span></b><span >this process will be rolled out<b> </b>across multiple national sector-representative organizations and their counterparts within the public sector relevant entities to own, maintain, and sustain the established PPD process. This will enhance the role of sector-representative organizations in addressing obstacles and challenges for their respective MSEs and reflect this through the dialogue with the government by improving policies, regulations, processes, and systems reflected through an enhanced decision making process by the two parties through an effective follow through process.</span></li>
</ol>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The new introduced system for PPD is expected to lead to a more conducive environment that should support and respond to MSEs’ priorities within their ecosystem. Moreover, the introduction of the PPD process across public and private sector stakeholders will better inform them when engaging in PPD cycles on behalf of their organizations (ministries, LDUs, business associations, etc.).</span></p>

<p>The aim of the project is to improve the living conditions of particularly vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanians, especially women and persons with disabilities, in selected municipalities in Jordan. At the same time, the project contributes to improving municipal solid waste management services.</p>

<p>The CfW opportunities are created in municipalities that host Syrian refugees. Partner municipalities are responsible for organising and implementing the CfW activities, while the project provides financial, technical and procedural support and strengthens municipal capacities. The CfW activities help municipalities address temporary personnel and resource constraints and improve municipal waste management services. They include, among others, cleaning of public areas as well as the collection, sorting and recycling of suitable materials.</p>
<p>By providing temporary income opportunities to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians and bringing participants from different backgrounds together in the workplace, the project also aims to contribute to social cohesion. Particular attention is given to the participation and inclusion of women and persons with disabilities. At the same time, the activities contribute to cleaner cities, improved recycling and environmental protection.</p>
<p>The project supports municipalities in integrating relevant improvements and approaches into their waste management planning to strengthen their sustainability beyond individual CfW rotations. In addition, the project advises municipalities and relevant waste management actors on organisation, operation and economic efficiency. Occupational health and safety, gender equality and social inclusion are considered throughout the implementation of CfW activities.</p>
