<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" ><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" ><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.

</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>

As well as national governmental and municipal stakeholders, in addition to several implementing partners in Jordan and Lebanon; United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), Jordan Hashemite Fund for Human Development (JOHUD), Jordan Hashemite Fund for Badia Development (HFDJB) (BADIA), Permaculture Research Institute (PRI), Yarmouk Water Company (YWC), LDK and Royal Scientific Society (RSS), Management of Resources & Environmental Solutions (MORES) and United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA). The project addresses the compounded impacts of climate change and the Syrian refugees’ displacement crisis, focusing on water scarcity, urban resilience, and sustainable development. It promotes innovative water harvesting, wastewater reuse, and municipal planning to strengthen climate resilience among vulnerable communities. The project was launched in October 2021 and ends in October 2026. 1. Objectives and Expected Accomplishments (outcomes) of the project The overall objective of the project is to increase the resilience of both displaced persons and host communities in Jordan and Lebanon to climate change-related water challenges, particularly challenges associated with water scarcity, climate-induced pressures, and population growth in vulnerable areas. The project aims to achieve this objective through four expected accomplishments: A. Strengthened municipal and institutional capacities to assess, plan, and manage climate-related water risks through the development of climate-responsive territorial planning documents, including urban master plans and associated action or investment plans, in order to support municipal governments to manage urban risks and vulnerabilities in the context of climate change, especially water scarcity challenges, and urban (population) growth, including pressures associated with displacement. B. Increased community awareness, ownership, and capacities to operate, maintain, and replicate sustainable water harvesting, supply, and reuse systems, aimed at strengthening the resilience of citizens (DPs and host communities) through improved awareness, and practical capacities to respond to climate change impacts on water resources. C. Expanded access to efficient and climate-resilient water supply systems through innovative and replicable non-conventional water harvesting, greywater treatment, and wastewater reuse techniques, aimed at enhancing the adaptive capacity of the water sector by expanding unconventional water harvesting, and climate-resilient water supply and irrigation options appropriate to the local context. D. Enhanced knowledge management, learning, and replication to document and share lessons learned and support the development of regional approaches for managing urban climate and water risks, including the development of regional urban risks and vulnerabilities management model in the context of climate change and urban (population) growth. *Detailed expected outcomes, outputs, indicators, and targets for each component are presented in the project’s Results Framework and will be provided to the evaluation team as part of the evaluation documentation package. 2. Project Scope and Geographic Focus The project is implemented in Jordan and Lebanon, targeting municipalities and communities that are highly vulnerable to climate change-related water challenges. In Jordan, the project focuses on the municipalities of Mafraq and Irbid, where increasing temperatures, recurrent droughts, declining groundwater availability, and rapid population growth, including large numbers of displaced persons are placing severe pressure on water systems and municipal services. In Lebanon, the project targets the Zahle District, including the municipalities of Zahleh–Maalaka and Taanayel Zahleh Municipality, where water scarcity, untreated wastewater, and high concentrations of displaced populations have intensified the vulnerability of communities and water-dependent livelihoods. Across both countries, climate change impacts have contributed to; reduced availability of safe and reliable water resources, increased pressure on municipal water supply and wastewater systems, and heightened vulnerability of water-dependent households and services. The project operates at two interconnected scales: 1. Municipal scale: strengthening planning capacities through climate-responsive territorial planning, vulnerability assessments, and urban master plans that integrate climate change, water scarcity, gender, and population pressures. 2. Community scale: improving access to alternative and climate-resilient water resources through rainwater harvesting, greywater treatment and reuse systems, wastewater treatment improvements, and community-level awareness and capacity building. 3. Project implementation arrangement The project is implemented by UN-Habitat as the Implementing Entity. Execution is carried out through national and international partners in both countries: • Lebanon: UNICEF - Lebanon, MORES • Jordan: UNICEF - Jordan, JOHUD, Badia, YWC, PRI, LDK/RSS • UN-ESCWA – Lebanon, Component 4 across both countries. Implementation is conducted in coordination with key national authorities: Jordan: Ministry of Environment (MOE) (Designated Authority), Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC), Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MOWI), Ministry of Local Administration (MOLA), MOA and the municipalities of Irbid and Mafraq. Lebanon: MOEnv (Designated Authority), Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), Ministry of Energy and Water (MOEW), Bekaa Water Establishment (BWE), and the Zahleh–Maalaka and Taanayel Zahleh Municipality, including municipalities of Zahle. A regional and national Project Steering Committee (RSC) structure provides guidance, oversight, and coordination among government stakeholders, executing partners, and UN agencies. Reporting Line: The consultant will report to the Head of Programme in coordination with Regional Project Coordinator. Duties and responsibilities: The evaluation objective is to assess, as systematically and objectively as possible the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, impact outlook and coherence of the project. Findings from the evaluation will inform UN-Habitat, the Ministries of Environment in Jordan and Lebanon (National Designated Authorities), and the Adaptation Fund Board on what worked well, what did not, and why. 1. The specific objectives of the evaluation are: • To assess the performance of the project in terms of achievement of the results at objective level, expected accomplishment (outcome) and output levels. • Assess the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, impact outlook, and coherence of the project in addressing climate change-related water challenges and improving the resilience of targeted communities. • Assess project management arrangements, including execution modalities, partnerships, coordination mechanisms, institutional roles, and the adequacy and use of resources, and how these factors influenced project performance. • Ensure alignment with Adaptation Fund Evaluation Policy and Guidance, including assessment of compliance with Adaptation Fund Environmental and Social Policy and Gender Policy. • To identify lessons learned and make strategic, programmatic and management recommendations on what further needs to be done to effectively promote and increase climate resilience of communities in Jordan and Lebanon. 2. Scope of the evaluation The evaluation will cover the entire life cycle of the project, from November 2021 to end of June 2026, including planning, inception, implementation, monitoring, reporting, and adaptive management processes. In line with the Adaptation Fund Evaluation Policy, the evaluation will assess: • Achievement of outputs and expected accomplishments (outcomes), and progress toward the overall objective • The processes that influenced performance, including readiness, stakeholder engagement, institutional roles, ownership, and operational coordination • Financial management, execution arrangements, and oversight/backstopping by UN-Habitat and partners • The effectiveness of monitoring, evaluation, and reporting systems • Compliance with and integration of the Adaptation Fund Environmental and Social Policy and Gender Policy, including gender equality, equity, social inclusion, human rights, and protection of vulnerable groups • Key constraints, risks, opportunities, and factors affecting sustainability and future upscaling The evaluation will consider performance at both municipal level (planning, governance, institutional capacity) and community level (non-conventional water systems, awareness and capacity-building), reflecting the project’s dual-scale implementation approach. A comprehensive evaluation report must be developed and submitted. Presentation of the evaluation process and findings must be developed and presented by the evaluation consultant to UN-Habitat and all stakeholders and partners. 3. Evaluation Questions: Apart from evaluating performance of the project focusing on achievements in terms of outputs, outcomes and objective, the evaluation will seek to answer evaluation questions, which are organized around the evaluation criteria of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact outlook, sustainability, coherence as well as assess the integration of cross-cutting issues. 1) Relevance: To what extent were the project objectives and design relevant to the needs of beneficiaries, the Adaptation Fund, UN-Habitat, executing entities, and national and local priorities in Jordan and Lebanon? • To what extent was the project relevant to requirements/needs of the beneficiaries? • To what extent was the implementation strategy responsive to donor requirements, national strategies, and UN-Habitat and executing entities’ strategies? • To what extent were the project’s intended outputs and outcome consistent with national and local policies and priorities? • To what extent were key stakeholders and target groups (including gender considerations and vulnerable groups such as displaced persons, women, youth, and low-income households) appropriately identified? • To what extent was the project aligned with Adaptation Fund strategic priorities? 2) Effectiveness: To what extent did the project enhance climate resilience in targeted municipalities and communities in Jordan and Lebanon? • What products, services, and systems were delivered, and to what extent did they strengthen local capacity to plan, manage, and adapt to climate-related water challenges? • To what extent did local ownership influence the effectiveness of the project? • Was the monitoring and evaluation system adequate for tracking progress toward outputs and outcomes, and how was M&E information used to adapt implementation? • To what extent did assumptions and risk assessments hold true, and how effectively did the project respond to changes or external factors? 3) Efficiency: How well were resources used? • To what extent did resources, management arrangements, and execution structures support efficient project implementation? • To what extent did UN-Habitat and executing partners have adequate capacity to implement the project? • To what extent were institutional arrangements adequate and free from administrative, financial, or managerial bottlenecks? • To what extent did the project demonstrate value for money, and how effective were the adaptive management measures taken during implementation? • To what extent did activities and outputs contribute to achieving the expected accomplishments and objective? • To what extent was monitoring and reporting transparent and satisfactory to key stakeholders? 4) Impact: What difference has the project made? • To what extent has the project generated observable changes in the target communities and institutions? • Did the project produce any unintended or unexpected effects (positive or negative), and how might these influence long-term impact? • To what extent did the project contribute to reducing climate vulnerability and enhancing adaptive capacity of displaced persons and host communities? 5) Sustainability and Scalability: To what extent are project benefits likely to continue after Adaptation Fund financing ends? • To what extent was capacity developed in order to ensure sustainability of the efforts and benefits?

The ToC, building on the project’s logical framework, will serve as the central analytical tool for examining causality and the project’s performance. The evaluation should also apply participatory and utilization-focused approaches to promote meaningful engagement of key stakeholders and facilitate the practical use of the evaluation results. Emphasis will be placed on assessing project delivery, achievement of outputs and outcomes, lessons learned, critical gaps, and actionable recommendations. All findings and conclusions must be supported by verifiable and triangulated evidence. The main emphasis should be placed on project delivery, achievement of results; lessons learned, critical gaps; and recommendations. Findings in the evaluation should be evidence-based. 4.2 Evaluation Methodology A variety of methodologies will be applied to collect data to answer the evaluation questions. By triangulating available data sources, the evaluation will seek to establish strong evidence base and maximize the credibility of its analysis. Where relevant, applicable and feasible, the data will be disaggregated by gender, age, and beneficiary group (e.g, host communities, displaced per<br>

<p><strong>Tiered Approach</strong></p><br> <p>In line with the commitment to safeguard capacity and support personnel already in the Organization, a majority of UNDP UNCDF/UNV vacancies are advertised using a tiered application process whereby:</p><br> <ul> <li><strong>Tier 0</strong>: UNDP/UNCDF/UNV IP staff holding permanent (PA) and fixed-term (FTA) appointments, whose posts will be abolished, or contracts will be terminated or not renewed during 2026.</li> <li><strong>Tier 1</strong>: Other UNDP/UNCDF/UNV staff holding permanent (PA) and fixed-term (FTA) appointments</li> <li><strong>Tier 2</strong>: UNDP/UNCDF/UNV staff holding temporary appointments (TA), personnel on regular PSA contracts, and Expert and Specialist UN Volunteers</li> <li><strong>Tier 3 or no tier indicated</strong>: All other contract types from UNDP/UNCDF/UNV and other agencies, and other external candidates</li> </ul> <p>Please make note of the Tier(s) indicated in the vacancy title, if any, and ensure that you satisfy the eligibility to apply.</p><br> <p><strong>Background</strong></p><br> <p>UNDP provides integrated programmatic, policy and financing solutions to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, UNDP has created a Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan. The Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) and the Crisis Bureau (CB) are the two anchor Bureaux of the GPN.</p><br> <p>In this context, the newly established Governance, Rule of Law, and Peacebuilding (GRP) Hub, a joint endeavour with the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), provides leadership and advisory services to enhance UNDP’s impact on governance and peacebuilding, ensuring the integration of democratic governance and human rights into crisis response and recovery. The Hub aims to build an integrated portfolio collaboratively between the CB and BPPS and establish partnerships with various stakeholders including the UN System, IFIs, civil society, and the private sector. </p><br> <p>Through Local Action, the GRP Hub seeks to contribute to peace and development, achieving a visible impact on communities and improving lives by delivering integrated solutions that harness global expertise and partnerships. The Local Action Unit works closely with local and regional governments as key development players, highlighting their role as public service implementers, as drivers of innovation and the closest institution to people. </p><br> <p>Local and regional governments are already responsible of over 65% of the SDG targets, most of them linked to basic service provision from water, sanitation, mobility, climate action, health or education. Cities and territories are playing a big part on the implementation of SDGs, that are becoming a new tool for strategic planning and budgeting in the mid to long-term. Since 2015, local governments and their associations have been increasingly active in promoting the SDGs through advocacy, working with their local population and partners in transposing the spirit of Agenda 2030 in cities and territories. Local governments have also started to use SDGs as a strategic framework to deliver better and more innovative public services linked to SDG targets and indicators. As part of the SDG Local Action project, UNDP is one of the implementing partners of the Mayors Challenge, a global initiative to reimagine the most essential services that cities deliver to residents.</p><br> <p>Within this context, the SDG Local Action project is seeking to recruit a<strong> Project Coordinator </strong>to support the implementation of the Mayors Challenge in the city of As-Salt (Jordan), one of the winners of the 2025 Mayors Challenge. The As Salt project aims to establish a training centre for the restoration of heritage buildings, training local residents on restoration skills to preserve their heritage, revive their buildings and repurpose them. </p><br> <p>As-Salt is home of thousands of heritage buildings, with a magnificent architectural character that tells the city’s rich history and connects its owners with their ancestors. Today, these buildings, once vibrant and full of life, have fallen into disrepair due to neglect, lack of awareness about their importance and a shortage of restoration specialist and high maintenance costs. About 70% of them are dilapidated and abandoned, posing a threat to residents and visitors. The project will transform the urban heritage of As Salt into a sustainable economic, social and cultural engine. By establishing the Heritage Building Restoration Training at the Beit Falah Al Hamad Heritage site, the city will be leading an integrated model that will create skills to create local and regional job opportunities. The project will also work with the owners of heritage buildings, providing legal support, financial incentives and technical support, connecting them with the new graduates. The project will also work to project a new image for the city to attract tourism, culture and investment in partnership with city society and the private sector, including banks and microfinance institutions.</p><br> <p><strong>Duties and Responsibilities</strong></p><br> <p>The <strong>Project Coordinator </strong>will perform the following functions:</p><br> <p><strong>A.
