 National Linkage Program (NLP) Services

The NLP is a component of the Jordan Upgrading and Modernisation Programme (JUMP) which brings together large manufacturing firms that use imported production inputs with local SMEs to overcome the major hurdle of manufacturing suitable product. In this way, the NLP helps in creating an enduring business-to-business relationship. The program functions briefly as follows:

  • Identify large firms using imported production inputs and determine their needs and requirements.

  • Identify local SMEs supplying the services and products, which are capable to meet the needs and requirements of large firms.

  • Carry out a detailed technical audit of that supplier to pinpoint the areas required for upgrading, in order to meet the expectations of the purchasing company, and then a development plan is prepared to satisfy all standards and requirements of the purchasing company

  • Follow-up and coordinate the implementation of the development plans by the supplying companies.
