Expertise France recruits 01 Coordinator / Technical AdvisorProject descriptionStrengthening Civil Protection and Relief Capacities in Jordan The General Directorate for Civil Defense (GDCD), established in 1959, lies under the jurisdiction of Jordan Ministry of Interior. With 26 960 officials, GDCD operates at the operational level and is in charge of providing assistance in terms of civil protection and emergencies. Following the 2018 tragic Dead Sea flash floods, the Jordanian authorities underlined the necessity to reinforce the GDCD, in relation with other stakeholders (NCSCM, etc.) in the following areas:
The proposed project falls within the Sawa Initiative launched by Agence Française de Développement in 2016 (under the Peace and Resilience Fund allocated among Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Jordan), which aims at facing the challenges created by the Syrian and Iraqi crises. The project’s general objective is to reinforce the GDCD’s capacities in terms of disaster management. It is therefore structured along 2 axes : (i) institutional capacity building for risk management through work on risk assessment, especially climate risks (flash floods etc.), the contingency plans in response to these risks and the training capacities of GDCD under the coordination of Expertise France, and (ii) the reinforcement of operational capacities through the purchase of equipment and vehicles (component of the project implemented directly by the GDCD). Mafraq is one of the governorates, with Irbid and Amman, which has welcomed the most Syrian refugees, in and outside the refugee camp of Zaatari. Because of its vulnerability, its growing population (local and refugee) and, as a result, of the growing demand for GDCD interventions, Mafraq Governorate has been chosen as a pilot zone for this project. The project will begin with a diagnostic phase based on the review and analysis of the existing operational arrangements and strategic documents developed by the GDCD and other disaster risk management (DRM) stakeholders in order to acknowledge the existing means in terms of risk evaluation, prevention, preparation, and response to disasters. The project’s contribution to capacity-building will be divided into three components:
