The Decentralization and Local Development Support Programme is funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Decentralization and Local Development Support Programme (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 for Decentralization and its Executive Committee. 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).
Under result 2 DLDSP is drafting a framework of formulating a national plan to develop decentralization institutional capacities. It is part of efforts to guide and organize the government’s efforts to develop and carry out reforms and implement the Law on Decentralization N. 49 and the Law on Municipalities N. 41 of 2015. The formulation of the 2018-2019 national capacity development plan is based on categorizing the interventions of the government and development partners. It identifies the areas that the national government is working on, and the type of current support of the development partners to support the implementation of the new laws through the inclusion or enhancement of legislative or institutional arrangements, structures, regulations, procedures and capacities to perform the functions that are recently assigned or amended at governorate and municipality level. Based on this, it will also include the areas and components that require extra support and/or existing gap. This national capacity development framework includes a comprehensive roadmap that includes existing plan, activities and those planned by the development partners within the agreed-upon areas and priorities, in addition to the relevant interventions/initiatives of ministries or departments that focus on reinforcing the local system of governorates and municipalities. Technical and financial proposals along with CV & 3 references should be submitted, and without such will not be considered. (Only Short Listed Candidates will be contacted).
