Expertise France recruits 01 Training Coordinator / Technical Advisor

Country : Home-Based with regular trips to Jordan (Amman & Ruwaishid)

Sector: Security and peacekeeping

Deadline for submission: 31/07/2019

Name and project description: Reinforcing Jordan’s Capabilities at the Eastern Border.

This project aims at enhancing Jordanian authorities’ ability to quickly react to any humanitarian crisis or security threat at the Eastern borders (Iraqi as well as Syrian) and to improve the sustainability of civil-military operations in the area, by building a multi-purpose hub in Ruwaishid, the first Jordanian city on the way to Amman after the Karamah border crossing point with Iraq. Given the very limited capacities of the current Border Guard Forces facilities in Ruwaishid, this hub will constitute a multi-agency logistical and administrative center. It will serve as a much needed rear support base both to the Karamah-Trebil border crossing point and to the overall Eastern border control system and operations. Capacity building is also part of this Project.

Two objectives are related to the capacity building component of the Project:

1. Enhancing Jordan authorities’ capacities in logistics management and maintenance by providing specific training modules. The following activities are expected:

Activity 1: conduct a study to precise the needs in terms of capacity building

Activity 2: implement trainings related to logistical hub management

Activity 3: Assessment of the interoperability of the logistical provisions

1. Contributing to a national approach to coordinated border management through enhanced coordination and institutional cooperation between the JAF and civilian authorities. The following activities are foreseen:

Activity 1: Organize two site visits in Europe for national authorities

Activity 2: implement an inter-agency coordination workshop

Activity 3: organize two joint exercises (simulation)
