1.     General background The forced displacement crisis has increased in scale and complexity in recent years. According to UNHCR, 79.5 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide at the end of 2019. Forcibly displaced persons (FDPs), including refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) face specific vulnerabilities, including loss of assets and psychological trauma, limited rights, lack of opportunities, a protection risk as well as a risk to be out of school, and a lack of planning horizon. In addition, the communities hosting FDPs also struggle to pursue their own development efforts.  In response to the considerable challenges facing FDPs and host communities, a new partnership initiative titled: ‘PROSPECTS' Partnership for improving Prospects for host communities and forcibly displaced persons, was launched by the Government of the Netherlands, that brings together the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Bank. Through the PROSPECTS partnership, the five partner agencies aim to leverage their comparative advantages and areas of expertise to programme complementary and interdependent interventions that address education, employment, and protection challenges. The partnership spans eight countries, namely Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Sudan, and Uganda and covers the period 2019-2027. 2.     PROSPECTS in Jordan Through the Prospects partnership, the five partners aim to leverage their comparative advantages and areas of expertise to programme complementary and interdependent interventions that address three areas where challenges negatively affect the livelihoods and well-being of Jordanians, refugees, and other vulnerable groups: education, employment, and protection. Through an in-depth theory of change process, the combined efforts of the organizations will endeavour to bolster the medium- and longer-term development goals for Jordanians, refugees, and other vulnerable groups to access quality and market-relevant education; decent engagement, work and enterprise opportunities; and comprehensive protection systems, which will in turn support more sustainable livelihoods, in line with Jordan’s national plans. Integrated into the joint programme is systematic learning and knowledge management that will feed into future planning, the scaling up of innovative approaches, and ultimately transform the way partners respond to displacement crisis. Under the Education pillar, Partners support initiatives that focus on strengthening the whole educational system, from capacitating teachers to providing basic education, life skills and Technical Vocational Education and Training. Of key importance in Jordan is ensuring ‘market relevant’ skills are supported in the late stages of the educational cycle. ASSIGNMENT BACKGROUND Within the scope of Pillar 1, the ILO PROSPECTS project seeks to support the Jordanian Government through (a) Strengthening the capacity of TVET stakeholders to design and implement quality and inclusive competency-based vocational training and Work-Based Learning (WBL) programs; (b) Improving the formal and non-formal TVET system and increase private sector engagement to promote market relevant skills and lifelong learning in the context of future of work; and (c) Expanding the recognition of prior learning (RPL) services to nationally accredit the skills and competencies of Forcibly Displaced Persons (FDPs) and Host Communities (HCs). The project will facilitate a number of targeted interventions in order to achieve this. Against this backdrop, PROSPECTS in partnership with TVSDC aims at establishing a pool of certified DACUM Analysis Facilitators and Certified CBT Programme Developers. Two rounds of on-site training and certification on DACUM Analysis took place in February/March 2025 in collaboration with TVSDC and the Canadian Vocational Association (CVA) in which 22 individuals from governmental and non-governmental organizations and TVET providers were trained on the development of a DACUM Chart. DACUM Analysis Module I must be followed by an actual facilitation exercise in which each 2 participants facilitate the development of a DACUM chart for a specific occupation. Once this is achieved, the information is shared with CVA for certification and those certified can join one (1) round of competency-based training (CBT) programme “Developers Facilitators-DACUM Module (II)”. It is anticipated that by the end of these trainings approximately fifteen (15) individuals will be qualified to facilitate DACUM analyses and CBT programme development as needed to identify job tasks/competencies for jobs/occupations that meet local labour market needs and to develop and implement high quality competency-based training.   ASSIGNMENT OBJECTIVES   ILO PROSPECTS in Jordan is seeking an experienced service provider/event planner to coordinate 13 workshops, in close collaboration with the local governmental entities overseeing this intervention and their partners and to hire 2 certified facilitators to support the workshops as per ToRs provided by the ILO.
