Accountability Assistant-North Of Jordan
Job Description
Background:
Active in Jordan since 2008, Acted’s focus has been on responding to the needs of refugees and Jordanian host communities affected by the influx of refugees and the Syrian crisis. As such, Acted has played an integral role in ensuring the provision of basic services to refugees and vulnerable Jordanians. In recent years, Acted’s focus has shifted to longer-term development programming, working in close partnership with local stakeholders to improve infrastructure and service provision, as well as being a key actor in strengthening civil society organisations in Jordan.
In addition, Acted is promoting a circular economy approach in Jordan, and thereby creating positive social, economic and environmental impact. To this end, Acted implements projects focusing on WASH and sustainable resource management while creating sustainable and inclusive income-generating opportunities.
Acted implemented more than 15 projects in 2020 with a budget of c. 10 million EUR, reaching over 90,000 beneficiaries of both host and refugee communities along three programmatic pillars: WASH & Sustainable resource management, Civil Society engagement and Livelihoods & Economic Development.
The Accountability Unit, part of the independent Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and learning (MEAL) Unit of Acted, has a core mandate of accountability towards affected populations (especially (non)beneficiaries in the locations where Acted implements its programmes) and quality of the programme delivery. Through its dedicated mechanism, it contributes to ensuring and fostering programmatic quality and relevance within the organisation.
