Introduction

The Improving Local Development to Increase the Resilience of Host Communities and Refugees in North Jordan (LED) Programme, funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), operates in Irbid and Ajloun to address gaps in local development financing and support the implementation of national and local economic priorities.

The Programme promotes inclusive economic growth through an integrated approach combining infrastructure investments, support to MSMEs, skills development, and strengthened public–private partnerships. It focuses on high-potential sectors, particularly tourism and agriculture, to create jobs, increase incomes, and enhance resilience, while ensuring equitable benefits for host communities and Syrian refugees.

Key interventions include the development of cultural tourism assets in Umm Qais and green agritourism routes in Ajloun. These are complemented by efforts to strengthen local value chains, enhance the capacity of local authorities, and improve access to finance and markets. Targeted skills training supports employment and self-employment, especially for women, youth, and refugees.

Overall, the Programme adopts a holistic model that integrates infrastructure, enterprise development, institutional strengthening, and social inclusion to generate sustainable jobs and support long-term resilience in northern Jordan. It also advances tourism value chains by developing a skilled local workforce aligned with market demand.


LED seeks to achieve four objectives through this RFP:

–    Reduce unemployment and enhance employability for youth at the host communities and Syrian refugees through a certification-based training programme in tourism and hospitality (e.g., tour guiding, hospitality operations, culinary arts, and food processing).

–    Bridge the gap between education and labor market needs through practical training and private sector engagement.

–    Develop competency-based training aligned with national standards and sector requirements.

–    Facilitate employment and income generation through internships, job placement, and entrepreneurship support.
