<p>BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis, GIS and remote sensing. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO with headquarters based in Paris and presence in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows IMPACT to benefit from ACTED s operational support in its fields of intervention. We are currently looking for a Senior Assessment Officer to support our team in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) Position: Senior Assessment Officer Contract duration: 6 months (pending funding confirmation) Starting date: ASAP Location: Amman, Jordan COUNTRY PROFILE The humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) has reached dire levels, particularly in the Gaza Strip, where ongoing hostilities have resulted in mass displacement, the collapse of basic services, and a near-total breakdown of civilian infrastructure.

The scale of destruction and access constraints have created an environment where humanitarian needs far exceed available resources. Together, these dynamics have driven acute and widespread humanitarian needs.

In 2026, IMPACT will conduct a number of cash and market assessments in order to better inform the response as it responds to the post ceasefire context.

<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><a name="x__Toc554132062" ><b><span >About Iqlaa</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 home-based, micro, and small businesses 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 integration. The program encourages and supports the participation of all MSE-owner segments. </span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><a name="x__Toc1505944540" ><b><span >Activity Description</span></b></a></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The Informal Livelihoods Advancement Activity (Iqlaa) aims to strengthen the resilience of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in Jordan by enhancing their managerial capacities and improving their access to business opportunities, financial products, and services. Central to Iqlaa’s strategy is its commitment to an evidence-based approach, underpinned by a streamlined research management framework. This ensures that findings are effectively disseminated, translated into actionable recommendations, and developed into accessible resources. By adopting this approach, Iqlaa aims to drive impactful and sustainable interventions for MSEs and key ecosystem actors, at both the enterprise and market levels.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Iqlaa has conducted extensive research and analysis on Jordan’s micro and small enterprise (MSE) ecosystem, including sectoral studies, ecosystem assessments, and the development of governorate-level profiles. Building on this body of evidence, Iqlaa aims to consolidate key insights into an online MSE Geographic Map.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The online MSE Geographic Map will visualize sectoral distributions, geographic concentrations of MSE activity, ecosystem actors, and development opportunities across Jordan’s governorates. The platform will serve as an accessible evidence-based tool to support policymakers, development partners, and market actors in understanding local economic dynamics and identifying opportunities for targeted interventions and exploring spatial patterns, trends, and relationships across integrated datasets to inform planning, policy development, and operational decision-making.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The MSE Geographic Map will be developed as an interactive web-based system integrated within the selected entity’s website environment to ensure long-term institutional ownership and sustainability. In parallel, structured datasets generated through the map will be shared with the CVDB Observatory (Tanmieh Tool) under the Ministry of Interior to support broader economic planning and observatory functions.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Through this approach, the MSE Geographic Map will support improved coordination among ecosystem actors, facilitate data-driven planning and analysis, and contribute to strengthening the MSE ecosystem across Jordan.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><b><span >Proposed High-Level Functions of the Map:</span></b></p>
