Strengthening Societal and Economic Resilience in Jordan (SSERJ)
Authority: Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionProgramme Objective:
SSERJ aims to support Government of Jordan (GoJ) to build an inclusive and sustainable safety net system and implement the National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS 2019-2015).
The programme will expand contributory social insurance schemes which will allow more informal jobs to be formalised. It will also support an expansion of tax-financed social assistance schemes, seeking greater coherence between national systems and those supporting refugees to improve efficiency.
Through this programme the UK will:
- Create the space for necessary economic reforms and protect the most vulnerable - leading to enhanced societal and economic resilience.
- Build GoJ’s capability to implement a strengthened and sustainable social safety net system which supports the formalisation of the economy and prioritises gender sensitive and shock responsive components.
- Promote greater alignment of humanitarian and development systems leading to efficiencies, sustainability and VFM.
There are four main components to the SSERJ programme:
- Technical assistance (TA) for systems strengthening
- TA for policy development
- Direct financial assistance (FA) for beneficiaries
- Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL)
FCDO will procure a Managing Agent to deliver Technical Assistance components and support financial assistance (FA) work to the GoJ.
