Position: Institutional Support Fund (ISF) Officer
Period of Performance: LTTA
Base of Operations: Amman, Jordan
Reports to: ISF Manager
Application Deadline: October 13, 2022*
1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Municipal Support Program (MSP) is a five-year, USAID-funded program implemented by DAI. MSP aims to strengthen municipal-sector service delivery and promote local economic development in Jordan. MSP will strengthen municipal-sector service delivery by supporting improved governance and organizational culture through a focus on three interventions: key policy and service delivery reforms, municipal sector public financial management, and community engagement. Improved municipal service delivery will ensure that municipalities can respond effectively to citizens’ needs and create the conditions for investment and inclusive economic growth. MSP will also increase capital investment in the municipal sector. This investment is intended to catalyze local economic opportunities and further strengthen service delivery by supporting improved development planning, facilitating investor partnerships, increasing access to finance, and supporting renovation and construction of fixed assets including the provision of material resources. Across all interventions, MSP will increase the participation of marginalized groups, including women, youth, and persons with disabilities in municipal-sector decision-making. Participatory planning will improve marginalized groups’ access to public services and increase their economic opportunities. MSP will work across all of Jordan’s governates working closely with the Ministry of Local Administration (MOLA) and the Cities and Villages Development Bank (CVDB).
MSP will use the Institutional Support Fund (ISF) to include robust material support and complementary technical assistance (TA) in municipal transformation packages. The ISF will be used to leverage rapid needs assessments, the MPIR tool, and stakeholder consultations to inform the selection of specific equipment, systems, and tools for each stakeholder. The ISF team, under the direction of the DCOP, will implement procurement functions in coordination with the technical teams to meet MSP’s Outcomes 1 and 2 activity impacts and results.
2. POSITION DESCRIPTION
The ISF Officer will work closely with the ISF Manager to serve as MSP’s critical link between the program team and the procurement/ops/HR side of the project, working to ensure quick mobilization of TA and rapid procurement of goods and services while maintaining compliance with all relevant regulations, policies and procedures. The ISF Officer will support the ISF Manager in the procurement of goods and services and complementary short-term TA to facilitate MSP’s municipal transformation activities. S/he will work collaboratively with the ISF Manager to support the Outcome Leads to procure the right resources and materials to address needs and interventions tailored for target municipalities. Illustrative activities may include:
The ISF Officer will support all subcontracting and procurement processes as well as adherence to policies, procedures, and controls. S/he will work closely with MSP operations, finance, procurement and HR personnel to ensure that all procurement actions are compliant with US Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Agency for International Development Acquisition Regulations (AIDAR) regulations, DAI rules and regulations, and that complementary STTA is sourced in accordance with MSP and DAI policies and procedures.
