JOB DESCRIPTION
The four member states of the Mano River Union (MRU: Côte d´Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone) are among the least developed countries in the world. Their political and socio-economic conditions are shaped largely by mineral and natural resources. In this context, it is promising that all four states have begun reforming their minerals sectors in recent years.
Although reforms have already been implemented, some of the key elements required to ensure that the extractives sector contributes to sustainable development are still lacking. The objective of the Regional Resource Governance Program is that the extractive sector in the MRU countries is geared to a greater degree towards the principles of social, ecological and economic sustainability. It supports partners in their efforts to reduce their dependence on external assistance in the long term and to mitigate risks arising from the mining sector. To this end, it applies a multi-stakeholder approach to cooperate with governments, civil society and the private sector at the regional, national and local level.
YOUR TASKS
1. Support technical staff of the program in the planning and implementation of activities and workshops, which includes accompanying them to meetings with stakeholders in government institutions, private sector and NGOs
2. Support the design and implementation of knowledge management and monitoring & evaluation
3. Support communications (collect materials and information, write articles and blogs) and the publication of a short monthly press review.
4. Support reporting on activities (internal reporting and for funding institutions)
5. Do research and draft briefing notes on specific topics and gather/complete data
6. If possible, accompany field visits
7. Support the project managers in organizing internal trainings for GIZ national staff. Potentially provide the training for colleagues
8. Any other tasks as the need arises

LOCATION INFORMATION
There are two identical positions open, one in Monrovia, Liberia, one in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The public perception of Liberia and Sierra Leone has been shaped by the Ebola epidemic in recent years, as well as by the election /democratic transition in 2018. However, Monrovia and Freetown remain attractive and safe locations. Burglary and violent crime rates are significantly below the level of other African cities. There is a variety of opportunities for excursions and sports, as well as a vibrant international community. Flights to Europe are close to operating on a daily basis. Primary health care is available and accessible. There are a few international schools and facilities for kids from the age of one. The climate is tropical with a rainy season from May to October.
