Strengthening Implementation Design of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Eco-System in Jordan

Arab States Jordan

This project supports building an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ecosystem in Jordan by enhancing job opportunities and improving the efficiency and quality of government services. The government, in collaboration with UNIDO industry stakeholders, created its National AI Strategy and Implementation roadmap which aims to promote the use of AI in key economic sectors, build an enabling environment, develop digital infrastructure and AI-specialized capacities, and strengthen the role of the public sector in the use of AI and its applications.

UNIDO’s SME upgrading component in Lombok focused on strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of SMEs in traditional and creative industries. In shrimp farming, the project introduced AI-powered tools — smart water quality sensors for continuous monitoring of critical water parameters. Real-time data analysis enabled prompt decision-making and optimized pond conditions, leading to healthier stock and higher yields.

Ghana “Improving the technology and quality control system for higher value addition in the post-harvest processes of the rice value chain (ITEQ)”

Africa Ghana

As part of UNIDO’s ITEQ-Rice project in Ghana, three AI-powered optical colour sorters were donated to women’s groups in remote areas of the Mion District to improve rice processing and quality control. These machines use artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning to rapidly detect and remove defective grains based on color, shape, and size, replacing the time-consuming manual sorting process.
