1. Background
The Government of Jordan (GoJ) and the Agence Française de Développement Group have been working together for civil protection strengthening and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) since 2019. The AFD support has taken the shape of a 5M EUR grant to finance the “Strengthening Civil Protection and Relief Capacities in Jordan” project, implemented for one part (1.5 M EUR, now closed) by Expertise France, and directly (3.5 M EUR) by GoJ for the procurement of vehicles and equipment, for which delivery is expected by the end of 2023. The technical assistance implemented by EF finished on June, 30th, 2023.
Following the expression by the Jordan Civil Defense (JCD) of need to ensure a continued partnership and strengthen the results and impact of the “Strengthening Civil Protection and Relief Capacities in Jordan” project, AFD and the French authorities, have recently agreed to commit to an additional envelope for technical assistance (TA). The envelope will be financed through the Fund for technical expertise and exchanges (FEXTE) for a maximum amount of 600 000 EUR.
In continuity with the “Strengthening Civil Protection and Relief Capacities in Jordan” project, the TA will be implemented by Expertise France for 15 months, at the benefit of and in close coordination with GoJ.
