The Private Sector Collaboration Pathway (PSCP) Jordan Addendum is a USAID/Jordan (USAID-Amman) grant opportunity designed to spark practical, innovative solutions to development challenges in Jordan by working directly with the private sector. The central idea is to form partnerships with local and international companies that are actively operating in Jordan, using their market knowledge, technology, investment capacity, and operational reach to help deliver development results that can last beyond donor support. This addendum is explicitly tied to USAID's Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) goal for Jordan: advancing self-reliance by expanding private sector-led economic opportunities for a healthy, well-educated population, strengthening water security, improving citizen-state trust, and reducing barriers for women and youth.

The opportunity is issued as a continuation under Funding Opportunity Number 72027824APS00002, and the funding instrument is a grant. It sits under a wide set of eligible activity areas, which signals that USAID is looking for cross-cutting, real-world solutions rather than narrowly defined projects. The listed categories include business and commerce, community development, education, employment and workforce training, energy, environment, food and nutrition, health, law and justice, natural resources, science and technology and other research and development, and transportation. In practice, this means proposals could range from private sector-driven workforce pipelines and job creation initiatives, to technology-enabled education or health solutions, to water and energy efficiency partnerships, to innovations that address regulatory, service delivery, or trust-related gaps between citizens and institutions. The emphasis on partnering with firms suggests solutions should be grounded in a viable business model or a clear path to sustainability, rather than relying indefinitely on grant funding.

Eligibility is focused on private sector entities: for-profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as small businesses, are both eligible to apply. This structure highlights USAID's intent to bring businesses into the development space in a direct way, rather than only funding nonprofits or government bodies. While the addendum references collaboration with firms operating in Jordan, the framing supports participation by both Jordan-based companies and international companies that have operations in-country, provided their proposed activities advance the CDCS goal and respond to Jordan's development needs.

The award ceiling is listed at USD 10,000,000, indicating that relatively substantial grants may be available for strong concepts with meaningful scale or high potential impact. The posting does not specify the number of expected awards in the provided data, which can imply flexibility: USAID may fund one larger initiative, multiple smaller ones, or a mix depending on proposal quality, available funds, and strategic fit. The opportunity was created on 2024-04-16, and the original closing date is 2025-04-26, giving applicants a long runway to develop partnerships, refine a concept, and assemble a competitive application.

Overall, this addendum is best understood as an invitation for businesses to co-create and implement development solutions in Jordan that are anchored in private sector leadership and aligned with national priorities reflected in USAID's strategy. Successful proposals will likely show a clear development problem, a credible role for the private sector that goes beyond simple contracting, a realistic implementation approach, and a plausible pathway to durability through market uptake, cost recovery, investment, or institutionalization, with visible attention to inclusion goals around women and youth and to priority themes like economic opportunity, water security, and strengthened citizen-state trust.
