GIZ AU, Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA)
The Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) is an African Union Commission (AUC) initiative, in partnership with the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). The AU Assembly (Assembly/AU/Decl.2 (XVIII)) approved PIDA during the 18th ordinary session of the African Union (AU) held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 29th — 30th January 2012.
PIDA as a continental initiative aims at addressing the infrastructure deficit that severely hampers Africa's competitiveness in the world market. It provides a common framework for African stakeholders to build the infrastructure necessary to create new jobs for the growing population, to increase intra-African trade and thus to boost socio-economic development on the continent.
The GIZ support to PIDA Program supports AUC and AUDA-NEPAD with the formulation of a new continental infrastructure action plan, the management of an African Women in Infrastructure Network and PIDA Instruments to promote infrastructure development on the ground.
To improve the diversity of our team, we will only consider female applicants for this position.
