<p><b>Action Against Hunger (ACF)</b> Action Against Hunger is a leading humanitarian and development agency working to combat the causes of hunger and malnutrition in over 46 countries worldwide. Eleven years into the Syrian conflict, more than 1.3 million Syrians have sought refuge in Jordan.

In 2022, Jordan had a 23% unemployment rate.

<p><b><span>About Mercy Corps</span></b></p>
<p><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><span> </span></p>
<p><b><span>About the Project</span></b></p>
<p><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. 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 implementation 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><span> </span></p>
<p><b><span>Purpose / Project Description:</span></b></p>
<p><span>Several municipalities in Jordan have developed disaster risk management (DRM) plans under the joint efforts of the Ministry of Local Administration (MoLA), Mercy Corps, and UNDP, and local partners. To strengthen municipal-level resilience, there is now a need to review and improve existing DRM plan templates, including the development of all necessary operational annexes, and support municipalities in updating their DRM plans.</span></p>
<p><span>This Consultancy will focus on reviewing and finalizing the existing DRM plan template, facilitating annual review and update of DRM plans in four municipalities, and conducting practical in-house working sessions with DRM units in eight selected Municipalities, and preparing and finalizing comprehensive DRM plans in eight selected municipalities with the operational annexes.</span></p>
<p><span>This Consultancy aims to ensure the plans are <b>comprehensive, participatory, and operational </b>by directly engaging municipal DRM units and aligning with Jordan’s <b>National DRR Strategy (2023–2030)</b>, the <b>Sendai Framework</b>, the newly developed “<b>Guiding Document for the Localization of Disaster Risk Management in Jordan</b>” and global best practices.</span></p>

Result of Service<br>The ultimate results of this consultancy are: ● A finalized national policy brief providing strategic recommendations for integrating EbA into national legal and policy Instruments, targeting MoEnv and ASEZA, validated by relevant national stakeholders. ● A finalized legal instrument for mainstreaming EbA into GAM's planning and regulatory processes, validated by GAM and relevant stakeholders, including practical implementation guidance. Both products will contribute directly to Output 1.1, output 1.2, and Output 1.3 of the project logframe, and will collectively satisfy Core Indicator 1 (Target: 2 policy instruments) of the Global EbA Fund reporting requirements.<br> Work Location<br>Home based<br> Expected duration<br>12 months/ part time<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to promote social and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all, supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals as well as facilitate the implementation of the World New Urban Agenda. UN-Habitat has been operational in Jordan since 2005, cooperating with regional and international organizations, local authorities, civil society organizations, and private sector, to localize SDGs and promote the implementation of UN-Habitat global programmes in the country. In Jordan, UN-Habitat has been working with national and local stakeholders and communities to support sustainable urban development and resilience-building, focusing on its core thematic areas; Climate Change and City Resilience, Urban Data and Planning, SDG Localization, and Community- Led Public Space Development. Through several of these initiatives, Jordan has been selected as a pilot country for innovative approaches and had national and local officials participating in global and regional knowledge exchange. Background to “Mainstreaming Ecosystem-based Adaptation into Urban Development Planning Frameworks in Amman City” Project Amman city, also referred to as the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), has grown from a city to a metropolis, with an urban area of 630 km² at an annual increase rate of 2%. In 2021, Amman reached a population of 4 million inhabitants. GAM owns 20% of land within its borders, including planned and unplanned areas. Green open spaces cover only around 2% of planned areas. In general, the quality of Amman city's natural system is severely degraded and presents many opportunities for enhancement that can capitalise on the available assets of public spaces and street corridors with innovative and sustainable approaches to address increasing urban climate change challenges. Natural hazards are a significant challenge for Amman, with its districts being among the most vulnerable to flash floods due to rapid growth exerting pressure on infrastructure. Jordan is highly vulnerable to earthquakes, droughts, landslides, and heatwaves, and these climate change impacts are more severely felt by marginalised communities. To further understand the climate change vulnerabilities, UN-Habitat has conducted a climate change risk assessment with GAM. National and city-level climate change plans have a strong focus on mitigation more than adaptation. Furthermore, many plans do not reflect the concept of EbA in the urban context, and climate change responses rely on grey infrastructure. Within this context, there is a need to mainstream EbA into the urban decision-making process and planning framework, as well as to highlight its social, economic, and environmental benefits. Amman is missing out on one of its key opportunities: maximising the benefits of natural and land resources, which can form the pillars for climate change adaptation, economic development, and prosperity. To do so, major cities like Amman must consider urban planning in the context of an ecosystem for sustainable climate change adaptation and socioeconomic benefits. Recent reforms to Amman's planning and zoning by-law (2025) provide an opportunity to strengthen climate-responsive planning instruments and embed EbA principles into regulatory frameworks. Current initiatives on stormwater management, green infrastructure, and climate risk assessments provide technical entry points for operationalizing EbA at neighbourhood and city scales. Within this context, UN-Habitat Jordan is implementing the project "Mainstreaming Ecosystem-based Adaptation into Urban Development Planning Frameworks in Amman City," funded by the Global EbA Fund (managed by IUCN). The project aims to create an enabling environment for mainstreaming Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in urban development plans, policies, and processes in Amman city and at the national level. The project has two outcomes: • Outcome 1: Ecosystem-based Adaptation is mainstreamed into urban planning and policy frameworks in Amman to increase the resilience and adaptive capacities of municipal governments and communities. • Outcome 2: Regional and local capacities and knowledge on Ecosystem-based Adaptation are enhanced. Under Outcome 1, the project aims to achieve three outputs: • Output 1.1: Adaptation gaps and capacities at the national and local level are identified. • Output 1.2: A national policy brief for integrating EbA into national legal and policy frameworks. • Output 1.3: A legal framework/instrument for mainstreaming Ecosystem-based Adaptation into the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) is developed. This consultancy is specifically designed to deliver the outputs, constituting the core legal and policy work of the project under Outcome 1. Project Scope and Geographic Focus The consultancy operates at two interconnected scales: 1. National scale: the legal and policy frameworks of the Ministry of Environment (MoEnv) and the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA), and Jordan's national climate change, biodiversity and disaster risk reduction commitments. 2. Municipal scale: the legal, planning and regulatory frameworks of the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), including the 2025 planning and zoning by-law, development control procedures, stormwater management, and green and public space planning. Project Implementation Arrangement The project is implemented by UN-Habitat Jordan as the grantee, with IUCN as the Global EbA Fund manager. Implementation is conducted in coordination with key national and local authorities, including the Ministry of Environment, ASEZA, the Greater Amman Municipality, the Ministry of Local Administration and the Ministry of Agriculture. Reporting Line: The consultant will report to the Head of Programme, in coordination with the project manager(s), UN-Habitat Jordan. Objective of the Consultancy: The overall objective of this consultancy is to develop practical, evidence-based legal and policy instruments to mainstream Ecosystem-based Adaptation within Jordan’s national policy and regulatory frameworks and to strengthen its integration into GAM's planning and regulatory processes in Jordan. The consultancy will result in two complimentary deliverables: ● Deliverable 1: A national EbA policy brief for integrating EbA principles and approaches into national legal, and policy frameworks, targeting relevant national institutions and authorities, with consideration of opportunities for application at the local level (e.g. special economic zones and local authorities). ● Deliverable 2: Local legal and regulatory instrument(s) for mainstreaming EbA into the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) planning and regulatory frameworks. Both deliverables will be evidence-based, context-specific, participatory in approach, and action-oriented. They will be developed in close coordination with UN-Habitat, and relevant national and local stakeholders and institutions (such as GAM, MoEnv). The consultancy should build on existing legislation, policies, strategies, plans, regulations, institutional mandates, and relevant national and international good practices, while ensuring that proposed frameworks and instruments are appropriate to the Jordanian institutional and legal context. All deliverables shall be subject to the review and approved by both UN-Habitat and the donor (IUCN/Global EbA Fund). Final deliverables will be considered accepted upon incorporation of consolidated comments and formal approval by UN-Habitat and the donor, and payment shall be released in upon this approval. Specific Objectives, Scope of the Assignment, Approach and Methodology Specific Objectives The specific objectives of the consultancy are to: • Review national and GAM legal, policy and planning frameworks to identify gaps and entry points for EbA. • Produce a validated national EbA policy brief targeting MoEnv and ASEZA. • Produce a validated GAM legal/regulatory instrument with practical implementation guidance. • Ensure all products integrate gender, social inclusion, and environmental and social safeguard considerations in line with the Global EbA Fund Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS). Scope of the Assignment The assignment covers national legislation and policies relevant to MoEnv and ASEZA, and GAM legal, planning and regulatory instruments in force at the time of the review. It covers the full consultancy period, from inception through validation and finalization. The formal adoption of the proposed instruments is outside the scope of this consultancy; however, the consultant will recommend the steps required for adoption. Approach and Methodology The consultancy will follow an evidence-based, participatory and context-specific approach, building on the project's Theory of Change. Methods will include a structured desk review of legal and policy documents; key informant interviews and focused consultations with MoEnv, ASEZA, GAM departments, and legal and technical experts; a comparative review of regional and international good practices; scenario testing of the draft GAM instrument; and validation workshops. Findings shall be triangulated across sources, and gender and vulnerable-group considerations shall be integrated throughout. The detailed methodology will be proposed in the Inception Report. Stakeholders' Engagement The consultancy must be participatory. Key stakeholders will be kept informed throughout the inception, consultation, drafting and validation stages to promote ownership and uptake of the products. A stakeholder mapping and consultation plan must be prepared at the inception phase. UN-Habitat will facilitate coordination letters for the consultant's engagement with government counterparts. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant will work under the direct supervision of UN-Habitat Jordan project managers and in close coordination with relevant national and local stakeholders. The consultant shall undertake the following tasks: 1.

<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>
