Mission description
The Gender Equality and Social Cohesion Project TAKATUF, implemented by Expertise France in partnership with the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) and funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) through the Minka Peace and Resilience Fund, aims to improve gender equality and social cohesion in Jordan by enhancing the capacities of the MoSD to provide sustainable and inclusive social services. The project, implemented in Amman, Karak, and Jerash Governorates, reinforces the capacities of MoSD, its 5 field directorates and 15 Local Community Development Centres (LCDCs) operating under the MoSD umbrella.
TAKATUF contributes to the implementation of Jordan’s National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS 2025 - 2033) and aligns with the Government’s broader Economic Modernisation Vision by focusing on dignity, empowerment, and opportunity for all. It works towards making LCDCs, in partnership with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and other stakeholders, more effective in provision of sustainable and inclusive social services for the benefit of Jordanians and Syrian refugees — especially vulnerable groups, women, youth, and persons with disabilities.
More specifically, the Project aims to:
§ Develop sustainable, inclusive and appropriate social services in the LCDCs, in collaboration with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), including Community Based Organisations (CBOs), in order to strengthen social cohesion and gender equality;
§ Strengthen the capacities of LCDCs by ensuring that their premises are functional and sufficiently equipped to meet the social service delivery needs and that their teams and partners have the appropriate skills and tools to carry out inclusive activities;
§ Support the MoSD at the central level and in the field in its role of stewardship, coordination and monitoring/evaluation of the social services, notably with indicators to enhance social cohesion and equality between women and men.
Expertise France seeks to engage a Financial Expert to support the project team in implementation of Expertise France financial procedures concerning the Call for Proposals, strengthen CSOs’/CBOs’ financial capacities, and contribute to training of field monitors on EF financial procedures.
