The USAID-funded Sustainable Achievement of Business Expansion and Quality (SABEQ)
program is a broad economic development initiative implemented by BearingPoint, Inc. and
a team of international and Jordanian partner firms. SABEQ will work with both the public
and private sectors to achieve two principal goals: 1) increasing the number of jobs available
to Jordanians, and 2) enhancing the competitiveness of Jordanian firms (ranging from micro
through small, medium and large enterprises). These goals will be accomplished through
SABEQ’s four topical project components which include Financial Integrity, Oversight,
Broadened Capital Markets; Expanded Trade and Investments; Remove GOJ Constraints on
Private Sector Competitiveness; and Enhanced Productivity. Two additional components,
Cross-Cutting Solutions and Program Management, Grants & Procurement, contain
activities which apply to all SABEQ work
