The Program / Department / Team (Program / Department Summary)
The USAID Informal Livelihoods Advancement Activity (Iqlaa) is a five-year USAID-funded program that started
in 2022 and aims to support Jordan’s HBBs and MSEs to grow, transform, and become resilient to future shocks. Iqlaa’s approach explores new ways of doing business and improving access to finance, markets, and services.
The program focuses on four sectors: agriculture, hospitality and tourism, manufacturing, and services, with a
special focus on technology development and implementation. Iqlaa infuses a gender, youth, and social inclusion lens throughout all interventions. Through research and adaptive collaborative learning, Iqlaa will identify opportunities, incentives, and market constraints that facilitate or restrict formalization and growth. Based on the findings, Iqlaa will implement best practices in enterprise strengthening, inclusive job creation,
and financial sector development within a market systems development (MSD) framework. Iqlaa will also leverage innovative behavioral change methodologies to facilitate long-term, sustainable changes in the MSEs
ecosystem in Jordan. Mercy Corps leads on the implementation of Iqlaa, and weaves together technical expertise from a robust set of national, regional, and international partners.
