GIZ provides services worldwide in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. With over 50 years of experience in a wide variety of areas, including economic development and employment, energy and the environment, and peace and security, the diverse expertise of our federal enterprise is in demand around the globe.
We have been working in Jordan for over 40 years, and since 2001, water has been a priority in Jordanian-German cooperation. Jordan is one of the world’s most water-scarce countries. The available water resources – especially groundwater – have been heavily over-used for years. At the same time, the pressure on water resources continues to increase due to population growth, the impact of climate change and economic development. Despite these challenges, the government of Jordan provides almost universal access for drinking water and improved sanitation.
The project Management of Water Resources (MWR), implemented by GIZ jointly with MWI, seeks to support the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, the Water Authority of Jordan and the Jordan Valley Authority in improving their governance and planning processes. It focuses on strengthening the regulatory framework, private sector participation, water resources planning and irrigation management. Component 1 of the MWR project comprises the updating of the WEAP model and the preparation of the Third National Water Masterplan (NWMP-3). The NWMP-3 will facilitate the planning of all required investments in the Water Sector over the time horizon 2020-2040. During this project phase some key elements of the NWMP-3 will be compiled together with the partner institutions and related studies will be conducted by consultants.
GIZ is committed to gender balance and diversity without distinction as to race, sex or religion, and without discrimination of persons with disabilities. Remuneration will be in accordance with the candidate's qualification, experience, as well as the scope of responsibility of the job announced and in line with local standards.
