<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. Mercy Corps is working in over 40 countries on the front lines of today’s biggest crises to create a future possibility, where everyone can prosper.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Since 2003, Mercy Corps has been actively working in Jordan, responding to the pressing needs of the vulnerable populations, strengthening cohesive and civically engaged communities, and increasing economic opportunities.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span > </span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><a name="x__Toc235260202" ><b><span >About Iqlaa Activity</span></b></a></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The Informal Livelihoods Advancement Activity (Iqlaa), funded by the United States Government is a five-year program that started in May 2022 and aims to support Jordan's HBBs and MSEs to grow, transform, and become resilient to future challenges. Iqlaa’s approach explores new ways of doing business and improving access to finance, markets, and services. It focuses on four sectors: agriculture, tourism and hospitality, manufacturing, and services, with a special focus on technology development and implementation. The program encourages and supports the participation of all MSE-owner segments. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Implementing Organizations: Mercy Corps (lead implementer), Andersen for Legal and Tax Consultancy, Expectation State, Middle East Investment Initiative (MEII), Migrate-Jordan, and American Chamber of Commerce in Jordan (AmCham).</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><a name="x__Toc235260203" ><b><span >Activity Background</span></b></a><b><span ><a name="x__heading=h.qhwqzuh4ids7" ></a></span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The Informal Livelihoods Advancement Activity (Iqlaa) aims to strengthen the resilience of MSEs in Jordan and ability to grow and expand their businesses. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >This will be achieved by enhancing MSEs ecosystem and enhancing their ability to access local and export markets, in addition to better access to finance. A key strategy for achieving this goal is the establishment of <b>a dynamic and responsive Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) process that is MSE-centric. </b>This process will address the unique challenges faced by MSEs through a constructive dialogue among relevant stakeholders within the public and private sector initiated by the MSEs formal representative entities. This will help MSEs address their critical challenges and capitalize on rising opportunities tailored to their needs, thereby enhancing the economic ecosystem. By doing so, it will better support both formal and informal MSEs, ultimately fostering their economic resilience and growth.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >PPD unites government entities, private sector participants, and relevant stakeholders in a structured and formal process to collaboratively address and resolve specific issues. This collective engagement aims to achieve common objectives and drive transformative changes in targeted areas by leveraging the combined expertise and resources of all parties involved.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >MSEs account for 98 percent of the country’s businesses, employ approximately 60 percent of the private sector workforce, and contribute 50 percent of the national GDP.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Despite their significant role, current PPD platforms predominantly address the concerns of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), lacking adequate representation and focus on MSEs.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Recognizing the vital role of MSEs in Jordan's economy, Iqlaa aims to institutionalize an organic and decentralized model of PPD that enables sector-based dialogues to be led by MSEs’ representative actors across priority economic sectors and is anchored by a pool of certified PPD experts, through the following three-pronged approach:</span></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Establishing a standardized PPD process</span></b><span > with clear roles, procedures, and dialogue cycles that can be adopted beyond the life of the program which will formulate the core of the accredited PPD training program. The standardized PPD process will be developed based on national Occupational Standard (NOS) for the PPD profession in Jordan issued by the AQAC.</span></li>
<li class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Introducing a pool of qualified PPD Experts</span></b><span >: Iqlaa and in collaboration with the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission have developed Jordan’s first National Occupational Standard (NOS) for the PPD profession in Jordan “PPD NOS”.</span></li>
</ol>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Iqlaa will enable the certification of a pool of (45-60) PPD experts who will be trained on the established PPD process. Those experts will in turn act as a pool of PPD experts available in the market to be contracted as PPD consultants and/or facilitators or trainers who will remain a reference expertise for the PPD process after the lifetime of Iqlaa.</span></p>
<ol start="3" type="1">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><u><span >Introduce the PPD process to relevant representative entities</span></u></b><b><span >: </span></b><span >this process will be rolled out<b> </b>across multiple national sector-representative organizations and their counterparts within the public sector relevant entities to own, maintain, and sustain the established PPD process. This will enhance the role of sector-representative organizations in addressing obstacles and challenges for their respective MSEs and reflect this through the dialogue with the government by improving policies, regulations, processes, and systems reflected through an enhanced decision making process by the two parties through an effective follow through process.</span></li>
</ol>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The new introduced system for PPD is expected to lead to a more conducive environment that should support and respond to MSEs’ priorities within their ecosystem. Moreover, the introduction of the PPD process across public and private sector stakeholders will better inform them when engaging in PPD cycles on behalf of their organizations (ministries, LDUs, business associations, etc.).</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><a name="x__Toc235260204" ><b><span >Activity Description</span></b></a></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The overall objective of this assignment is to operationalize and <b>sustain the designed PPD process and profession </b>by developing and accrediting a cadre of qualified Public–Private Dialogue (PPD) experts capable of independently leading, facilitating, mentoring, and scaling standardized PPD processes at both national and subnational levels across the four targeted sectors in Jordan and within the public and private sectors. This will be achieved through the following key objectives:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Establish an accredited PPD Experts Training and Certification Program in Jordan</span></b><span >, which shall be aligned with the approved PPD National Occupational Standards (NOS), the standardized PPD framework developed by Iqlaa, and considering relevant international best practices. Thereby institutionalizing the PPD profession and ensuring consistent quality standards, competencies, and professional recognition, and establishing a pathway to Training of trainers’ program.</span></li>
</ol>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >2. <b>Strengthen local national capacities to support and sustain the institutionalization of an effective Public–Private Dialogue</b> processes by providing a pool of certified PPD experts from the public and private sectors who possess the competencies required to facilitate, manage, mentor, and scale PPD initiatives across priority sectors through different governance levels.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >About Mercy Corps:</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Mercy Corps (MC) is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. MC has worked in Jordan since 2003 to implement a variety of programs funded by global public institutions, as well as private donors to meet the urgent needs of vulnerable populations, build cohesive and civically engaged communities, and increase inclusive economic opportunities. MC’s current portfolio in Jordan focuses on three domains: resilient individuals, strong communities and governance, and environmentally sustainable and inclusive economic growth. MC integrates cross-cutting themes of youth, gender equality and empowerment, governance, natural resource management, and technology.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >About the Project:</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Jordan, one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, is facing escalating climate-related disasters that threaten its communities, economy, and environment. Rising temperatures, declining rainfall, and more frequent extreme weather events, particularly flash floods and heatwaves, are straining the country’s already limited water resources and disrupting agriculture. In response, Mercy Corps Jordan is implementing Tabeaa: Strengthening Climate Resilience in Jordanian Communities, a project co-funded by the Z Zurich Foundation and the Embassy of Switzerland in Jordan. Tabeaa is part of Mercy Corps’ ongoing work under the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance, which focuses on enhancing resilience to climate hazards globally. Through Tabeaa, Mercy Corps Jordan is strengthening climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts at both national and local levels. Nationally, the project supports the localization and enforcement of climate policies and promotes climate-smart investments to build long-term resilience. At the community level, Tabeaa works in five highly vulnerable locations (Wadi Musa, Azraq, Mlaih, Dieban, and Shobak), implementing locally driven interventions to protect water resources, reduce disaster risks, and support sustainable livelihoods. By integrating national-level policy action with grassroots resilience-building, Tabeaa empowers both institutions and communities to sustainably adapt to Jordan’s growing climate challenges.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Background & Rationale:</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >As part of the Tabeaa project, Mercy Corps Jordan is running a Climate-Smart Open Innovation Bootcamp that supports Jordanian entrepreneurs and start-ups developing practical solutions to flash floods, heatwaves, and other climate hazards facing local communities. The bootcamp guides selected teams through mentorship, technical support, and prototype development and will conclude with a national pitch event at the end of September 2026, where the finalists present their solutions and two winners are selected.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The national pitch event is a key moment for the project and its partners. It showcases home-grown climate innovation, connects entrepreneurs with investors and stakeholders, and demonstrates the value of the Tabeaa approach to donors, government, and the wider public. Capturing this journey and the national pitch event through high-quality visual content is essential to extend its reach and preserve its impact.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >To do this well, the project needs a Creative Videography, Photography, and Storytelling National (Jordanian) Individual Consultant to document the full story: the entrepreneurs and the prototypes they are building, the bootcamp journey that leads them to the pitch, and the key moments and atmosphere of the national event. This content will be used across social media, donor and partner communications, and future project outreach.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The project is therefore seeking an experienced individual consultant to capture and produce a complete package of photos and videos before, during, and after the national pitch event.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><u><span >Consultant Objectives:</span></u></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The consultant will support the Tabeaa project team in documenting the Climate-Smart Open Innovation Bootcamp through clear, creative and high-quality photos and videos. The content should highlight the participating entrepreneurs, their solutions, the bootcamp journey, and the role of innovation in strengthening climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk reduction (DRR), and climate resilience in Jordan.</span></p>
