USAID Jordan Economic Development Programme (SABEQ) has partnered with DHL Express Jordan to promote sector positioning regionally and globally.

This partnership is part of the programme's outsourcing awareness campaign that aims to build a global platform for the exchange of services.

Sealing the partnership was the signing of a Letter of Agreement by DHL Express Jordan representative Turgay Sarikaya, general manager at DHL Jordan, and USAID Jordan Economic Development Programme (SABEQ) chief of Party, Laith Al Qasem.

Turgay Sarikaya, general manager at DHL Jordan, said: "DHL is proud to voice Jordan's potentials to the world and outsourcing is one due to the great capabilities that lies within it from its talented and educated human resources to its reliable and advanced infrastructure to name the least."

DHL Express couriers will carry the "Turn to Jordan" brand to 220 countries, as it serves over 24,000 customers during the coming year. USAID's support continues to cover all aspects of developing the outsourcing sector including workforce capacity building, development of business infrastructure, industry specialisation, market access and branding, a DHL statement said.

The USAID Jordan Economic Development Programme (SABEQ) is a five-year economic development initiative that aims to support sectors and activities in alignment with His Majesty King Abdullah's vision for a knowledge-based economy, by inserting Jordanian enterprises into global value chains, promoting investment, and improving the enabling environment to generate value-added jobs, exports, foreign direct investment, and sector revenues as powerful engines of economic growth.
