<p><strong>About Youth Grow Activity </strong></p>
<p>Launched in 2023, Youth Grow Activity (YGA) is a five-year US Government (USG)-funded initiative that aims to transform the economic trajectory of Jordan’s youth while strengthening resilient, opportunity-rich local systems to promote long-term stability and security. YGA reflects a growing strategic consensus: youth economic empowerment is no longer just a development objective; it is a tool for socioeconomic prosperity. YGA tackles the root causes of economic exclusion and youth unemployment—key drivers of social unrest, destabilized vulnerable communities, and brain drain and migration. By aligning local and national economic opportunities with shared regional and global strategic interests, YGA leverages economic empowerment as a force to foster resilient partnerships that help co-create future-ready systems.</p>

<p><strong>Short-Term Consultancy: <em>Incubation Facilitator </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Background</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Youth Grow Activity (YGA)</strong> is a five-year (2023–2028) initiative funded by the United States, implemented by Q2IMPACT (a QED Group company) and partners, in direct partnership with the Government of Jordan. YGA is a strategic U.S. investment in Jordan's workforce, stability, and long-term economic self-reliance, upskilling Jordanian youth and connecting them to opportunities to strengthen one of America's most reliable partners during a period of intense regional political, economic, and social turmoil.</p>
<p><strong>College for Advanced Vocational Training (CAVT) </strong>was established in 2022 by the Crown Prince Foundation to promote the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector in Jordan. CAVT offers high-quality, accredited, affordable, future-oriented, and technology-enabled TVET programs across a diverse range of fields aligned with global trends, ensuring a highly skilled workforce capable of adapting to evolving market demands.</p>
<p>Within the Jordanian TVET ecosystem, technical proficiency alone is no longer sufficient for competitiveness; graduates and skilled practitioners also need entrepreneurial tools — business model design, marketing, and financial management — to move from “skilled” to “employed” or self-employed. With several mega-projects on the horizon, Jordan's labor market increasingly demands innovative, professionalized talent. The Vocation-to-Venture (V2V) Launchpad responds to this need as an Incubation program designed for TVET students/graduates/labor and TVET skilled youth (18–29 years) from College of Advanced Vocational Training (CAVT)’ graduates and vocational labor. The program focusses on building foundational business and entrepreneurial competencies through experiential, challenge-based learning and practical application. Its primary objective is to strengthen entrepreneurial literacy, promote self-employment awareness, and equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to transform their vocational knowledge and skills into ventures, and to pursue sustainable income-generating opportunities.</p>
<p>To ensure long-term operational sustainability and efficient delivery during the incubation phase, YGA is providing technical assistance to CAVT's V2V (Vocation-to-Venture) project by engaging a dedicated short term <strong>Incubation Facilitator</strong>.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span ><span ><span >Mercy Corps (MC) is an international relief and development organization that operates in more than 40 countries around the world, whereby its Jordan office was founded in 2003 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. Mercy Corps Jordan (MCJ) partners with local governments and organizations to support communities in building economically secure and more peaceful futures, with programs focused on climate resilience, sustainable livelihoods, and inclusive economic growth.</span></span></span></p>

<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, is a five-year program that started in May 2022 and aims to support Jordan's home-based businesses (HBBs) and micro-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 integration. 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 >Iqlaa seeks a qualified national individual consultant to support the implementation and follow-up of grants, including in-kind grants, provided to targeted HBBs and MSEs under the program. The consultant will support needs identification, grant implementation and follow-up, procurement coordination, technical specification development, delivery coordination, installation follow-up, and related documentation for in-kind grants. The consultant will also provide field-based and onsite guidance, coaching, and follow-up, as needed, to support successful grant implementation and address emerging operational or technical challenges.

<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span > </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >This assignment aligns with the Micro-Aggregators Program implemented within the scope of Iqlaa. Through the program, participating business owners of MSEs have already undergone an extensive capacity building and business development process over approximately two and a half months. During this period, they received training across approximately fifteen training days covering multiple topics related to aggregation and business growth, including but not limited to aggregation principles, marketing, sales, food safety, quality assurance, digital marketing, value chain development, regulatory compliance, and financial management.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The participating business owners have undergone a business plan development process and received tailored technical feedback and coaching from an aggregation expert, as well as marketing and/or financial management experts based on the individual needs of each business.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >Upon finalization of the business plans, business owners pitched their business concepts and growth plans to an external evaluation committee. Ten successful participants were selected to receive in-kind grants under the program.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >The consultant will work closely with Mercy Corps’ program, procurement, finance, grants, and Program Quality and Learning (PQL) teams to ensure that all in-kind grant support is compliant, cost-effective, operationally suitable, and aligned with approved business plans and program objectives, ensuring sustainability of the aggregation model within the awarded grantees.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" ><span >In-kind grants are expected to be up to 14 grants for cohort 2 and up to 10 for cohort 3.</span></p>
