Digital Knowledge Platform Officer
GIZ- Internal/External Vacancy Announcement #015/2021
Sustainable Industrial Clusters (S.I.C)
One of the fundamental aspects of Ethiopia’s industrialization strategy is the establishment of Industrial Parks (IPs) around the country. The parks aim to attract foreign direct investments, to increase the country’s exports, to create jobs for the growing population, and to promote the country as a light manufacturing hub on the continent. At the beginning of 2020, IPs in Ethiopia were providing employment for 92,000 people, yet with a high turnover of employees. IPs have the potential to achieve higher prosperity for the regions and deliver a step-change in economic development for the country. The GIZ project “Sustainable Industrial Clusters” (S.I.C.), which is co-financed by the UK and Germany, shall promote socially and ecologically sustainable garment and textile production in selected IPs. It shall contribute to this by tackling issues on: park operations, labor satisfaction, environmental and social regulatory standards as well as their enforcement.
In this regard the project is looking for a Digital Knowledge Platform Officer to support its newly established Strategy Unit.
