<h4>Office/unit/project description</h4>

The Jordan Country Office focuses on key priorities, including governance and peace, inclusive growth and sustainable livelihoods, environment, renewable energy, climate change, financing for development, and SDG impact.</p>
<p>Regarding the significant challenge posed by financing for development, the 2015 Addis Ababa Action Agenda emphasized the importance of holistic approaches to financing national strategies. In response, UNDP launched Financing for Development (FfD) portfolios which include initiatives in partnership with both governmental and private stakeholders to align public and private capital flows with national development priorities and to mobilize the necessary financing for large-scale development impacts.</p>
<p>In an effort to build a coherent sustainable finance architecture, UNDP leverages its technical expertise and convening power to support the deployment of an Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) in Jordan. This government-led process unites government entities, the private sector, and development cooperation partners in devising a strategy to finance national development. To inform this strategy with data and analyses of the financing landscape, UNDP Jordan already conducted a Development Finance Assessment and complementary thematic studies. Building on these efforts, the country office is now deploying a FfD portfolio to further support the government in developing an INFF roadmap anchored with the priorities of Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision (EMV).</p>
<p>With its FfD portfolio, the country office is seeking to effectively leverage innovative financing and support investments into the green transition.

Development Gateway (An IREX Venture)1
Jordan - Amman
<p><strong>Terms of Reference: DG Program Lead</strong></p>
<p>About Development Gateway and the Early Grade Education Activity (EGEA)<br>
Development Gateway: An IREX Venture (DG) is an international non-profit organization with<br>
approximately 80 team members based in more than 10 countries worldwide. By leveraging the<br>
combination of programmatic and IT developer capacity and skills within DG, over the last 20<br>
years we have researched data ecosystems, built digital tools to support those data ecosystems,<br>
and advised on data strategy and digital transformation to strengthen decision-making,<br>
transparency, and service delivery.</p>
<p><br>
DG is one of several consortium partners, led by IREX, implementing the Early Grade<br>
Education Activity (EGEA, also known as ‘ASAS’) program in Jordan between 2023-2028,<br>
funded by the U.S. Department of State. As a large-scale development program, ASAS is a<br>
complex, high-paced and outcome-oriented initiative. The consortium itself comprises well over<br>
50 individuals working on the program at any given time (based both in Jordan and abroad).<br>
From DG’s side alone, there are likely to be approximately 8-10 personnel supporting<br>
implementation at any given time, with at least 3 staff based in Amman including the Program<br>
Lead.</p>
<p><br>
The overarching objective of ASAS is to improve the quality of early grades (K-G3) education<br>
outcomes for children in Jordan. The program aims to achieve this objective by supporting the<br>
education of student teachers while they are still at university (pre-service teachers), and also by<br>
supporting early grades students and teachers (in-service teachers).</p>
<p><br>
DG’s role within the consortium is focused on enhancing data use among various systems and<br>
data sources in Jordan’s education sector. DG will enhance user-centered digital solutions to<br>
support local actors in mapping the data landscape and improving data systems’ utility and<br>
interoperability. DG will also work with various actors in Jordan to support the digitization of<br>
institutional data systems, including quality assurance processes and assessment where needs<br>
are identified. Lastly, DG will also support integration and alignment of the national AI policy<br>
into the education sector by conducting a series of AI readiness diagnostics and sandboxing<br>
exercises at the Ministry of Education (MoE) and University level to explore the feasibility of<br>
integrating automation safely and effectively into key functions.</p>
<p><strong>Job description</strong><br>
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who, through substantial experience in the<br>
education and/or digital sectors in Jordan, has developed strong strategic skills. We are looking<br>
for a senior professional based in Amman who is equally comfortable working on big picture<br>
strategic issues and complex technical details. Someone who brings deep subject-matter<br>
expertise in education and/or digital policy in Jordan while operating seamlessly in an advisory<br>
capacity to steer complex conversations, build multi-stakeholder consensus, and align technical<br>
work with overarching program objectives.</p>
<p><br>
As our program lead in Jordan, you will serve in a pivotal leadership capacity, managing DG’s<br>
