Project Overview
The Kaizen Company (Kaizen) is an international development consulting firm and an incubator for innovative, scalable solutions that address emerging market challenges and opportunities. Our proven solutions catalyze locally driven organizational and institutional performance improvements and establish communities of practice that facilitate peer-to-peer learning and the achievement of shared goals. We aspire to transform the nature and impact of development assistance and work to strengthen organizations and institutions through innovative approaches to organizational development, reform, and change.
The Kaizen Company is seeking applications for the Planning Systems Technical Consultant position under an anticipated USAID-funded activity in Jordan. Kaizen aims to support USAID/Jordan to provide assessment expertise, technical assistance, capacity building, collaboration, facilitation, and training to targeted stakeholders and counterparts to improve existing management systems and procedures used by the Government of Jordan (GoJ) in the education sector.
Purpose of the Assignment
To improve the existing land use and planning processes for the public schools’ construction projects in Jordan, The Planning Systems Technical Consultant will drive the collaborative improvement of planning processes, land management, and systems used by the Government of Jordan for the planning, construction, and utilization of ministry-funded schools.
Kaizen is seeking to hire a Planning Systems Technical Consultant to drive the School Infrastructure (SI) projects towards adopting improved planning, land management, and site selection processes and procedures. The Technical Consultant will identify relevant technical improvement opportunities and coach the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH) and the Ministry of Education (MoE) central, and field directorates to achieve intended objectives.
Scope of Assignment
The technical capacity of school infrastructure planning and management at MoE, on the national and local levels, remains insufficient and demonstrates a lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities between the decentralized and centralized levels. Although numerous plans related to development and land management exist, implementing these plans and enforcing regulations is weak, leaving much room for informality.
The Technical Consultant will work with government officials, relevant stakeholders, and other related parties to make large-scale decisions regarding site selection and land use to improve the land management planning for school construction at the central level, directing resources towards needs, and prioritizing and specifying land needs at the central and local levels to influence the decentralization planning process.
