ABOUT THE COMPANY
GIZ, the German Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH, provides services in the field of international technical cooperation worldwide. In Kenya, it has been active since 1964, and up to now implements programs in a wide variety of areas, including economic development, green energy and water, governance, food security, and peace and security. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is GIZ's main commissioning party. However, GIZ as well works closely with the private sector, fostering successful interaction between development policy and foreign trade.
JOB SUMMARY
A. Background The ecosystems of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) are critical for the food security, employment and economic development of ten states in eastern and southern Africa – Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Madagascar, Comoros, Réunion, Mauritius,Seychelles. Some 60 million people rely directly or indirectly on this biodiversity hotspot for fishing, tourism, oil and gas, and other resources. However, population growth, increasing consumption, pollution and a diversity of human activities are threatening the region's fragile coastal and marine ecosystems. Climate change impacts, including warming of the ocean and related acidification, and increased variability and intensity of weather events, are significantly exacerbating the decline in coastal and marine biodiversity. In 2019 the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned GIZ to implement the Western Indian Ocean Governance Initiative (WIOGI) in partnership with the Nairobi Convention – the Regional Seas Convention housed at UNEP. The project supports the regional, national and local actors to collaborate more effectively for theprotection and sustainable use of marine and coastal diversity in the WIO. It focuseson three main work packages:Strengthening the capacities of local coastal communities to participatein ocean governance. Strengthening the capacities of the regional multi-actor stakeholderinitiative (Our Blue Future) to strengthen and promote local solutions forinclusive and sustainable blue economy. Improving local economic and social framework conditions for aninclusive sustainable blue economy in Mozambique and Tanzania. WIOGI's scope and scale will be substantially bolstered by a BMZ funding top-up in 2024 and three anticipated EU co-financings which, if successful, will increase the project budget by 15 times and extend the project duration to 2029. As WIOGI's activities spread to new countries and intensify, the project is looking for a Maritime Affairs Intern to support the design and implementation of critical internal and external processes and engagements with the maritime sector.
