<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span ><span ><span >Mercy Corps is an international relief and development organization that operates in more than 40 countries around the world, whereby its Jordan office was founded in 2006 and has since worked to expand clean water access, strengthen youth and women's civic participation, and boost economic stability for both Jordanians and refugees.

<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span ><span ><b><span >About Iqlaa</span></b></span></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span ><span >The Informal Livelihoods Advancement Activity (Iqlaa), funded by the United States Government - implemented by Mercy Corps as lead implementer within an implementation consortium of six partners, aims to support Jordan's Home-Based Businesses (HBBs) and Micro and Small Enterprises (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></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span ><span > </span></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span ><span >Through research and adaptive collaborative learning, Iqlaa has identified opportunities, incentives, and constraints that facilitate or restrict formalization and growth. Based on findings, Iqlaa implements best practices to strengthen businesses and develop an MSE-focused financial sector within a market systems development framework. Program activities are delivered with a strong localization element to respond to specific market needs and the local context. Iqlaa also leverages innovative behavioral change methodologies to facilitate long-term, sustainable changes in the MSEs ecosystem in Jordan.</span></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span ><span > </span></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span ><span >Using a Market Systems Development (MSD) approach, Mercy Corps collaborates with private sector market actors to pilot and scale innovative solutions that address key market constraints. These partnerships aim to catalyze sustainable business practices that continue beyond the duration of the Activity.</span></span></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.

<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>
<ol start="1" type="1">

<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >About Mercy Corps</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Mercy Corps 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.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span > </span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >About the project</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >As one of the world’s most water-scarce countries, Jordan is at a critical juncture, grappling with escalating climate-related disasters that pose a challenge to its humanitarian efforts, economic stability, and environmental integrity. Flash floods and heatwaves have emerged as two of Jordan’s major hazards, affecting water resources, agriculture, and livelihoods. Mercy Corps Jordan’s project, Tabeaa: Strengthening Climate Resilience in Jordanian Communities, is funded by the Z Zurich Foundation and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The Tabeaa project works at both national and local community levels, driving systemic change through policy localization and DRR/CCA strategy enforcement at the national level, while supporting five communities across Jordan to build adaptive capacity at the local level. The project’s approach concentrates on three program systems: Community Empowerment, Policy Localization, and Private Sector Engagement.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span > </span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Background and Rationale</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Azraq district, located in Jordan's eastern desert, is among the areas most severely affected by climate change. Rising temperatures and prolonged droughts are diminishing an already scarce rainfall, lowering groundwater levels, and accelerating desertification across the district.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >In 2025, as part of its inception phase, Tabeaa project conducted a community climate resilience assessment across its target communities including Azraq, to identify climate resilience gaps and inform effective intervention design. Findings for Azraq revealed gaps in indicators related to energy affordability. While fuel and electricity are mostly continuous, almost all households and many businesses face high energy costs for heating and cooling, especially vulnerable groups, alongside concerns about system reliability, and preparedness for future extreme events, these findings show an increased pressure on the already vulnerable community in Azraq. Building on these findings, Mercy Corps has partnered with JREEEF (Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund) to plan and implement an energy related intervention, as detailed below.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Intervention Design Overview</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Under Tabeaa's partnership with JREEEF, the intervention will be built around two complementary components, brought together for a more cohesive approach to energy resilience in Azraq. It will address energy affordability in the district through four key phases, each reinforcing the other.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The hard stream will deliver direct support to 40 households, installing solar water heaters by one of JREEEF’s trusted providers to reduce water heating costs, which will in turn lower beneficiary households' overall energy bills in Azraq.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The soft stream will run alongside it and is what will make the hard stream accurate and sustainable. Fifteen youth participants, from local graduates of renewable energy engineering or other similar field of study, will be recruited and trained through a capacity building workshop covering assessment methodology, use of energy-based measuring devices, and data management. Once trained, the youth participants will collect data on the households level confirming which are genuinely most vulnerable against the agreed criteria and establishing each household's baseline energy and affordability. This baseline will give the intervention a reference point against which savings can later be measured once the solar water heater is installed. Training and engaging youth participants for this stream will serve two purposes, placing assessors in the field who understand the local context and can engage households effectively, and giving these young engineers a first practical application of their qualification with direct relevance to future employment in the sector.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The youth participants will then be engaged a second time in wider community awareness. Having already built trust with households during the assessment, they will lead two sessions in Azraq, one for households and one for small businesses, on energy-saving practices. This will extend the intervention's logic beyond direct support, building broader understanding of the behavioral changes needed to lower energy bills across households and businesses outside the 40 direct beneficiaries.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >In summary, the intervention will proceed through the following phases:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >• Phase 1: A capacity building workshop will be implemented for 15 participants who studied renewable energy engineering, preparing them to conduct the household assessment in Phase 2 and awareness sessions in Phase 3.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >• Phase 2: The trained youth participants will conduct the household assessment, establishing each household's baseline energy affordability and confirming the list of households that will receive water heaters against a pre-set criteria.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >• Phase 3: Solar water heaters will be installed by JREEEF for the confirmed households, based on the Phase 2 assessment data. This phase falls outside the consultant's scope of work.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >• Phase 4: Two awareness sessions will be conducted by trained youth, one at household level and one for small businesses, focused on energy-saving practices and other relevant topics that support efficient energy use in Azraq.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span > </span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Consultant Objectives</span></b></p>
