Project Background:

USAID Public Financial Management and Administration (PFMA) aims to work in partnership with USAID/Jordan and the Government of Jordan (GOJ) to improve Jordan’s revenue system and enhance their budget management process.

Key objectives include: 1) improving the revenue raising system; 2) streamlining the budget management process; 3) optimizing public expenditure management; and 4) implementing crosscutting Public Financial Management reforms such as interventions to address COVID-19. Through a combination of technical assistance, capacity building, and facilitation, tangible and measurable results are expected during the anticipated five-year duration of the activity.

To these ends, PFMA works closely with the relevant Government of Jordan entities, USAID and other donor programs to identify opportunities to improve revenues and enhance the budgeting process through building the capacity of the Ministry of Finance and other government institutions and provide on-hand support upgrading of different internal and external systems.
