[Jordan customs administration modernization program] : gender assessment  

The Customs Administration Modernization Program (CAMP), a project funded through the Millennium
Challenge Corporation (MCC) Threshold Country Program and administered by USAID, is helping the
Government of Jordan (GOJ) to achieve its trade facilitation goals by improving the efficiency and
effectiveness of the customs system over the next two years. ARD will assist Jordan in improving its
Trade Policy score, thereby facilitating Jordan’s qualification for MCC Compact status. At the conclusion
of the two-year timeframe, ARD will have helped Jordan Customs reduce the number of days required to
import or export a good, as well as the number of documents and signatures required to import or export,
and markedly improve its scores on the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom “Openness to
International Trade” indicator.
