***Draft* TORS Partnership Assessment & Strategy Update**

Background: CARE Jordan currently works with over 60 partners ranging from very small-size local CBOs to international agencies, institutions and foundations.

CARE International established a presence in Jordan in 1948, created in the wake of the Palestinian refugee crisis. Nearly seventy years later, CARE has served the needs of the Palestinian, Iraqi, Somali, Sudanese, and now Syrian refugee communities. CARE s scope of work has evolved from emergency response to long-term development programming, now encompassing an urban refugee protection program, the Sustainable Development program, and the Azraq Camp program. In late 2013, CARE created its Long Term Strategic Plan (LRSP) 2014 2016, defining CARE s program goals to fight poverty and inequality by 2016. With the launch of CARE Jordan s new business plan 2017-2020, in alignment with the CARE MENA strategy and the CARE International Global Program strategy, CARE intends to deepen our partnership approaches to promote greater longer term relevance and sustainability.

Objective of Consultancy:

The objective of the consultancy is to provide CARE Jordan with an updated, refined and organization-owned partnership framework which incorporates best practices from across the organization as well as serves to initiate a strategic partnership investment plan that encompasses new partnership mapping, identification of common principles and objectives, and agreement on standard operating procedures .

CARE Jordan will be establishing a small steering committee composed of program, program support and partner representatives to work closely with the consultant(s). The Steering Committee will help guide and direct the consultant(s) while at the same time will take on specific responsibilities as agreed through consultation once the final scope of work and work schedule has agreed, e.g. facilitating introductions to key stakeholders, organizing small meetings/workshops, and/or initiating partnership mapping in both current and new operational areas.
