JOB DETAILS:

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. The Country Office in Kigali covers GIZ’s portfolio in Rwanda and Burundi. In Rwanda, GIZ works in the following priority areas on behalf of the German Government: Training and sustainable growth for decent jobs; Responsibility for our planet – climate and energy; Peaceful and inclusive societies, good governance; and Digitalization.

Portfolio Management in the Country Office in Kigali supports strategic portfolio development of bilateral programs in close communication with the German Embassy, analyzes policy trends of Rwandan partner institutions, multilateral and bilateral donors, monitors annual portfolio objectives, prepares delegation visits, ensures effective internal and external communication, including onboarding of new staff members, and implements policies related to gender, inclusion of persons with disabilities, and other mainstreaming topics.
