The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future. We work in conflict-affected areas, along the displacement routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions. We work toward successful integration and – whenever possible – for the fulfilment of the wish to return home.
The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956, and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers. Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced.
All of our efforts are based on our value compass: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation.
The Danish Refugee Council based in Jordan seeks proposals from a consultant to lead the evaluation process of DRC Jordan’s EU project titled: “Fostering Green Growth for the Most Vulnerable in Jordan through Improved Resource Management and Green Job Opportunities”. The consultant will provide a comprehensive review and analysis of the project according to OECD-DAC criteria. This includes overseeing data collection, conducting trend analysis, outcome reporting, data insights, and data interpretation. The consultant should also aim to identify both unintended negative and positive effects of the project, as well as lessons learned and best practices.
The project has been designed to respond to the European Union’s call: ‘Green Innovation Projects as part of the EU support to Green Economy in Response to the Syrian crisis in Jordan 2021 – 2024’. It aims to contribute to the global objective of the EU call, which is to develop a green, environmentally sustainable, and socially inclusive post-COVID-19 economy. This should be achieved through the enhanced implementation of Jordan’s green growth strategy and action plan, with a particular focus on addressing the Syrian crisis. Additionally, the project aligns with the specific objective of the EU call,
which is to enhance coordination and sustainable resource management in the energy, water, and agriculture sectors.
The project is implemented in Irbid, Madaba, and Azraq Camp and the project duration is from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2025. The project targets approximately 70% Jordanian and 30% refugee across the governorates of Irbid and Madaba, as well as 80 Syrians living in the Azraq camp. The project indicators, targets and activities are shown in the table below.
