In September 2006, USAID/Jordan awarded a 5-year, $69 million contract for the Sustainable Achievement of Business Expansion and Quality Project (SABEQ), ending in September 2011. The purpose of the contract is to develop and implement a program to help Jordan become more competitive in global markets, deepen the public sector reform process, and increase the number of jobs. The project has four components: trade competitiveness, agriculture, private sector competitiveness, and environment.

This audit will (1) determine whether USAID/Jordan’s Sustainable Achievement of Business Expansion and Quality Project achieved intended results and (2) assess the project’s impact.
