Progress made to date in Jordan
• Scoping Phase• Discussions with focal groups of
stakeholders• Identify spatial boundaries • Identify “VECs” • Identification of existing data

Progress made to date in Jordan
• Identified consultant consortium – project manager, international experts, local experts
• Designed standardized baseline methods• Identified all potential surveyors in Jordan
and carried out in-field training• Implementing standardized baselines at three
wind farm sites• Multi-stakeholder ‘Advisory Committee’

Progress made to date in Jordan
• Developers hired the local consultants• IFC’s CIA international team overseeing local
consultants

Next Steps
• Identify baseline conditions• Undertake uniform Collision Risk Assessment
for each wind farm• Impact assessment• Identify highest risk situations• Identify potential mitigation measures• Eventually… joint post-construction
monitoring

Lessons learnt so far…
• Start process with developers• Ensuring that developers understand the
benefits:– Joint monitoring approaches is cost effective– Access to financing (IFC / EBRD / other
requirement)– Builds credibility– Potential to improve relationships with
stakeholders

Lessons learnt so far…
• Spend adequate time at beginning of process to collect existing data
• Whatever initial timeframe was planned – double it
