UNDP Awards $40,000 Consultancy Contract to Support Green Climate Fund Proposal in Jordan

Amman, Jordan

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has awarded a consultancy contract valued at USD 40,000 to support the preparation of a project proposal under the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Readiness Program in Jordan. The contract reflects continued efforts to strengthen Jordan’s access to international climate finance and enhance institutional readiness for climate action.

The award was posted on January 21, 2026, and issued through a Purchase Order procurement method.

Contract Overview

The consultancy focuses on providing specialised technical support for the development of a GCF Readiness project proposal, a critical step for countries seeking to mobilise climate finance for mitigation and adaptation initiatives.

• Contract Title - International Consultant to support the development of project proposal for the GCF Readiness Program

• Contract Reference Number - 10498949

• Procurement Method - urchase Order

• Contract Value - USD 40,000

• Posted Date - January 21, 2026

• Beneficiary Country - Jordan

Awarded Consultant

The contract has been awarded to Lucia Fuselli, an international consultant engaged to provide expertise in climate finance, project formulation, and alignment with GCF requirements.

The assignment is expected to include:

• Technical input for GCF Readiness proposal design

• Alignment with national climate priorities and strategies

• Support on results frameworks, budgets, and implementation arrangements

• Coordination with national stakeholders and UNDP teams

Strategic Importance

The Green Climate Fund Readiness Program plays a vital role in helping countries strengthen institutional capacities, policy frameworks, and project pipelines needed to access large-scale climate finance. For Jordan—one of the world’s most water-scarce and climate-vulnerable countries - enhanced readiness is essential to unlocking funding for resilience-building and low-carbon development.

By engaging specialized international expertise, UNDP aims to improve the quality and competitiveness of Jordan’s GCF submissions, increasing the likelihood of successful funding approval.

Development Context

UNDP continues to act as a key partner for governments seeking to navigate the complex requirements of multilateral climate funds. Small-value but high-impact consultancy contracts such as this are central to building long-term national capacity rather than one-off project preparation.

Outlook

With the consultancy now in place, proposal development activities are expected to progress in the coming months. Successful submission under the GCF Readiness Program could pave the way for future climate investment projects in Jordan, including larger-scale GCF-funded initiatives.
