Consultancy to Conduct Capacity Strengthening for Partners and Produce Videos Portraying Partners and Medair’s Work with Partners

Background

Medair is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) implementing projects in various sectors, including health, MHPSS, and cash-based interventions, through local partner organizations in Jordan. Since mid-2024, Medair has established new partnerships with local organizations and is in the process of setting procedures to strengthen its operations and build partner capacities. A key aspect of Medair’s partnerships is capacity strengthening, focusing on both programmatic and organizational system development. Local partners are part of a partnership network that aims to facilitate collaboration and coordination among partners.

Medair is looking for an individual to support us to achieve this objective. Hereafter, in this document, Medair we only refer to “consultant”. The consultant is expected to work closely with Medair and the local partners.

• External stakeholders: Medair partner organizations, up to 4 local partner organizations.

The consultant is expected to mostly work at the local partner’s offices and implementation sites, with visits to the Medair office in Amman.
