81301718-Strengthening a Green Business Development Service (BDS) Ecosystem in Jordan

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 a Green Business Development Service (BDS) Ecosystem in Jordan", 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 advisory expertise relating to four packages of services: (1) analysing Green BDS market dynamics in Jordan, (2) improving Green BDS delivery of energy efficiency and integrated industrial water management related services, (3) tailored Green BDS packages to industrial enterprises and Green BDS providers, as well as (4) overarching business development for Green BDS providers.
