Fostering Collaboration, USAID Helps Government of Jordan Secure Nation-wide Loan  

To improve the overall Jordanian national economy, as well as support the municipal finance sector, the French Development Agency (AFD) approved a Sector Policy Loan (SPL) on October 20, 2016. The SPL came in response to a request by the Government of Jordan for financial support to municipalities, but included conditions represented by the implementation of a set of Government actions that would serve as “triggers to release funding from the SPL. As part of their ongoing support to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MoMA), USAID-CITIES Project worked with the AFD and the World Bank to assist the Ministry in achieving the triggers related to the SPL.
