JOB DESCRIPTION

The dry lands suffer from climate change that is exacerbated by destructive exploitation of natural resources, high poverty and malnutrition rates, very low literacy rates as well as limited delivery of basic services across all sectors. Moreover, the region lacks sufficient water for production infrastructure. The Enhanced Water Security and Sanitation Programme (ENWASS) is based on two projects. GIZ is working with the EU under its “Development Initiative for Northern Uganda” to enhance water storage capacities by constructing water reservoirs together with Ministry of Water & Environment. The reservoirs will be protected by comprehensive source protection measures and operated and maintained under newly developed, gender-sensitive user agreements. The project office in Moroto focuses on climate sensitive water resources management. The objective of “Technical Assistance Facility” (TCF) is the capacity development of local government to generate a regional land-use plan that attracts investments for drought resilience and rural development. This includes capacity building and organizational development of local authorities in coherent spatial planning; review of existing planning documents; and merging of plans (GIS format) at regional level to guide investments.
