Orange Jordan expressed pride in its extended partnership with the German International Cooperation (GIZ), which was manifested in a project that enhances the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Kingdom, by empowering startups and providing them with knowledge and skills in management and financial literacy, thereby preparing the entrepreneurs for growth, sustainability, and achieving positive economic impact locally and regionally. It reflects Orange's commitment to their promises and fulfilling them responsibly and ethically.
The German International Cooperation, through its project on innovative curricula for financial inclusion, emphasized that financial literacy is a cornerstone for sustainable economic growth. Through our cooperation with Orange Jordan, we are proud to support entrepreneurs and small businesses across the Kingdom, empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed for growth and creating sustainable job opportunities in Jordan.
