81298701-Strengthening Green Economy in Jordan through Policy Advisory and Green Business Development

The expansion of industrial production has led to exacerbated environmental challenges in Jordan. Consequently, enabling the industrial sector to become more resource efficient would not only reduce production costs and therefore the competitiveness of businesses, but it would also be a valuable contribution to protecting Jordan"s environment. However, only a small number of Jordanian enterprises are integrating resource-efficient technologies into their production processes. Two root-cause are the lack of existing business cases for green business opportunities, on the one hand, and the lack of designated green (industrial) policymaking that would allow for Jordan"s economic transition to net-zero, on the other hand. To make matters worse, also public institutions or private-sector support networks have currently limited support offers focusing on resource-efficient and cleaner production. Therefore, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is seeking a contractor to implement the project "Strengthening Green Economy in Jordan through Policy Advisory and Green Business Development", which is part of the overall Green Action in Enterprises (GAIN). The objective of the GAIN project is that "public and private actors use instruments to promote a Green Economy". In this context, GIZ is seeking to commission a contractor (and a local partner) to provide a range of specialised green economy advisory services expertise relating to three packages of services: (1) political advisory on green economy, (2) development of green business cases, and (3) scaling of textile circularity business cases.
