The United Nations Development Programme is inviting applications to support climate resilience and sustainable development in Jordan’s Dead Sea Basin.
The focus areas of the initiative include climate-resilient water systems, enhanced water security, climate change resilience, sustainable livelihoods, food security, climate adaptation, landscape planning, investment design, policy integration, disaster risk reduction, environmental sustainability, stakeholder engagement, climate risk management, water resource management, and resilience building.
The initiative is part of a seven-year effort aimed at fostering increased climate-resilient sustainable development across Jordan. It supports national efforts to address environmental concerns, climate adaptation, and disaster risk reduction while contributing to sustainable development.
The project aligns with Jordan’s climate change policy and National Adaptation Plan objectives. It focuses on strengthening the resilience of water management systems and farming communities in response to climate change challenges.
The project is structured around three interconnected components. These include climate-resilient water systems for enhanced water security, climate change resilience for improved livelihoods and food security, and scaling up climate adaptation across policies and stakeholders.
The consultancy aims to complete, update, and support the development of a comprehensive and actionable Landscape Investment Resilience Plan. The plan will ensure full geographic coverage of the target governorates of Ma’an, Tafilah, Karak, and Madaba and support future validation, dissemination, and investment mobilization efforts.
The plan will be informed by completed socio-economic, climate risk, and water diagnostic assessments. It is intended to enhance climate resilience, adaptive capacity, and the long-term sustainability of investments across the targeted areas while addressing challenges such as water stress, flash flooding, land degradation, and social vulnerability.
Key activities include an inception phase with desk review and stakeholder mapping validation, development of resilience plan criteria and intervention designs, organization and delivery of validation workshops, and consolidation and finalization of the Landscape Investment Resilience Plan.
The assignment will be implemented over a period of nine months. Eligible firms should have at least seven years of experience, demonstrated expertise in climate adaptation, landscape planning, and investment design, experience in developing large-scale plans or research projects, access to advanced modelling tools and technologies, and experience working with GCF-funded projects or similar international donors or governmental entities.
