Employment Creation Expert
Internal/External Vacancy Announcement #155/2020
Qualifications and Employment Perspectives for Refugees and Host Communities in Ethiopia Programme (QEP)
Background
The programme on Qualifications and Employment Perspectives for Refugees and Host Communities in Ethiopia (QEP) has been commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in December 2017 and co-financed by Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). The programme is part of the German Special Initiative on Displacement and seeks to provide better vocational training and employment perspectives for refugees and host communities in Ethiopia. The programme leverages the potentials of TVET for integration. Implementation takes place in Addis Ababa, Somali region, Tigray region, Gambella region and Benishangul-Gumuz region.
QEP works on three output levels and seeks to (1) increase the quality of technical and vocational training (TVET), (2) broaden the opportunities of TVET available to the target groups and (3) foster entrepreneurship and exchange formats for employment. (4) strengthen relevant actors for the sectoral implementation of the new Refugee Proclamation. QEP works together with the public TVET system and tries to extent the standards of the Ethiopian TVET system to TVET opportunities available for refugees and remote host communities. The programme works in fragile social and economic contexts. It is therefore crucial that refugees and Ethiopian host communities benefit equally from programme interventions.
The new Expert for Employment Creation in Gambella will steer selected activities from the operation plan and ensure a timely and quality implementation. She/he will be based in Gambella. She/he steers and ensures the satisfactory and timely implementation of activities related to the Gambella regional Agriculture Bureau, other government partners, and relations with other implementing partners/NGOs in the refugee camps setting. The expert works with the International Advisor in Addis Ababa responsible for coordinating the activities is the Gambella region.
