Description

Project background

While the share of EVs has been rapidly increasing across Jordan, standardization in the EV ecosystem and associated capacity building to the public sector are urgently needed to stimulate private sector investment in the charging infrastructure as well as ensure the safety of users and protect their rights.

The Jordan updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) indicates that the transport sector is the largest energy consumer in the country. Four priority measures are brought forward in the NDC's mitigation section and three of them are directly related to the electrification of the transport sector. To accelerate NDC implementation, GGGI is executing a project titled “Support for e-mobility Adoption in Jordan Through National Standards Development and Dissemination” This project will contribute to the implementation of the three NDC priority measures for the transport sector by delivering these two outputs:

1) Developing and adopting electric vehicle (EV) safety and charging national standards.

2) Delivering training and capacity building to key government stakeholders on EV standards.

Objectives of the assignment

To achieve output 2 of the project, GGGI seeks to engage a competent Consultant to design and deliver the local training program focused on the application of the EV charging and safety standards developed under this project. GGGI plan to have a total of 40 hours training delivered in-person to 30 participants.

The primary objective of this assignment is to strengthen the technical capacity of national stakeholders involved e-mobility, infrastructure development, and standardization, with particular emphasis on international best practices, harmonization with global and regional standards, and application in the Jordanian context.

Please note that the deadline is based on Korean Standard Time Zone (KST, UTC+9)
