Communication Consultancy

1. Introduction & Background

FCA Jordan Office (JOCO) is looking for a Communication Consultancy service under/as part of COOL-YA
project during 3 months for the targeted locations in Jordan Valley, Irbid and Mafraq governorates.

1.1 Background info on FCA
Finn Church Aid (FCA) is Finland’s largest international aid organization with more than 70 years of
experience. We specialize in the world’s most fragile contexts and work with the most vulnerable people,
regardless of their religious beliefs, ethnic background or political convictions.

1.2 Background info on FCA Jordan Country Office
Starting 2022, FCA is planning to implement the COOL-YA projects which seeks to attract more youth to
the agriculture sector by making it more appealing and interesting for the young people through bringing
elements that excite young people – technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, startups, IT and
mentorship. The project will investigate ways on how young people can be involved in agro business and
bring in new blood to this very traditional sector which is considered less prestigious for young people. To
tackle these issues the project will support young farmers and cooperatives with infrastructure and
equipment as well as with training (including TVET, entrepreneurship, foundational skills, new pre- and
post-harvest techniques etc.) and hands-on technical support. The project will support cooperatives and
agro businesses in order to increase their productivity and create new job opportunities for youth. The
project pays special attention to innovation and integrating technology and IT solutions through
supporting innovative thinking among students, supporting IT startups, as well as running an online
platform that supports direct connection/sales between farmers and consumers. Given extremely low
participation of women in the agricultural sector and poor working conditions the project will
systematically work on reducing barriers for women to join the sector; at the same time, seek to promote
a decent job agenda in agriculture to improve working conditions and ensure rights of the workers.
The project is funded by the Ministry of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and strongly rooted locally with
JEPA, JAEA and JUST.
Through various interventions, the project will reach over 750 beneficiaries and farm holders, engaging
additionally 1750 youth in trainings and directly creating job opportunities for around 500 young women
and men.
