I.BACKGROUND

The Decentralization and Local Development Support Programme (DLDSP) is a project funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme. The DLDSP provides support to the Government of Jordan to effectively manage and guide the implementation of decentralization reform through the application of the Decentralization and Municipalities laws of 2015. The DLDSP operates through the Local Development Directorate (LDD) at the Ministry of Interior (MOI) and through its corresponding LDD at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MOMA). It functions under the guidance of the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) for Decentralization and its Executive Committee and its sub-committees.

DLDSP seeks to achieve three results:

• Result 1: The policy/ regulatory framework pertaining to decentralization has been adopted;

• Result 2: Capacities of the Governorate-based structures in strategic planning, budget analysis and monitoring are strengthened;

• Result 3: Participatory development plans have been properly elaborated in Governorates through strengthened dialogue with Non-State Actors and increased citizen’s participation (including identification of local productive projects to be established);

Scope of Work

• Revise and update the mapping of development partner interventions in Jordan carried out by DLDSP supporting decentralization, local governance and local development related issues, that will contribute to the development of a multi-partner action-plan to support the development of the local government system. More particularly, the assignment will cover the following set of activities:

   

  • Revise and update if necessary the areas of focus of ongoing interventions being undertaken by development partners, donors, main national and local stakeholders.

  • Revise and support the process of development of a multi-partner/actor road map/action plan in support of the application of the decentralization process in Jordan;

  • Review and identify areas of interface or overlap that may exist between ongoing interventions and devise specific modification in scope/focus to enhance complementary of such actions.

  • Update information on the gaps in covering by ongoing interventions and define the scope of future interventions to address such gaps.

  • The consultant will conduct interviews, focus groups and field visits to gather the needed information from development partners, CSOs/NGOs, ministries, or/ an public agencies that are working on the development of the future interventions to support the application of the Laws or the further development of the Local Government system to ensure their alignment and complementarity to ongoing actions and their accurate contribution to gaps in current coverage.
