Technical requirements: 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.
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) project.
The overall objective of the GAIN project is that "public and private actors use instruments to promote a Green Economy". The project consists of 4 outputs:
- Output 1 aims to strengthen the organisational capacity of public sector institutions to implement selected initiatives to promote a green transformation of the Jordanian industrial sector.
- Output 2 aims to improve the facilitation between the industrial and financial sector for green investments.
- Ouput 3 focuses on strengthening instruments for scaling up resource-efficient and/or circular production in the Jordanian industrial sector.
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:
This work package focuses on providing political advisory services to staff in the MoEnv and the MoITS (target group) on (i) technical topics related to green industrial policy development, and (ii) on organisational and structural challenges faced by the ministries. Moreover, it includes the provision of expert advise on topics related to green economy to the GAIN project team.
This work package focuses on (i) developing technical support services for industrial enterprises to identify and implement concepts of cleaner and resource efficient production, as well as (ii) developing and piloting green business cases. The target group are medium-sized and large firms (20+ employees) in the industrial sector. According to the Department of Statistics (2015), medium and large industries comprise 1.8 % of all enterprises and employ 64 % of total employees in Jordan. Based on data provided by the Jordanian Chamber of Industry (JCI) there are approximately 830 manufacturers in this target group by 2021. These are firms with growth potential that have a disproportionate impact on the environment.
This work package focuses on concrete technical advisory regarding the implementation of green business cases developed during the previous phase of the project in the textile- and garment industry. Activities under WP 3 shall contribute to the local textile and garment industry"s market position as an environmentally friendly sourcing destination for international brands and as such minimise the sector"s environmental footprint whilst boosting exports and jobs. The cornerstone of this will be the creation of a supply chain of pre-consumer fabric waste from the existing garment industry to feed a mechanical recycling plant that will, in turn, provide the raw materials necessary for a new spinning mill producing recycled yarn.
