GIZ- Internal/External Vacancy Announcement ‘#067/2024’
GIZ-AU Office/ Strengthening Financing for Development in Africa through Combating Illicit Financial Flows and Effective Debt Management
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a global service provider in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development dedicated to shaping a future worth living around the world. As a public-benefit federal enterprise, GIZ supports the German Government – in particular the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) – and many public and private sector clients in achieving their objectives in international cooperation in around 120 countries.
Since 2004, GIZ has been a reliable and trusted partner of the African Union (AU) to enhance inclusive growth and sustainable development on the African continent in line with the AU’s Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. With more than 200 staff, GIZ African Union cooperates with the AU Commission, as well as the AU’s specialised institutions and agencies, such as the Development Agency AUDA-NEPAD, at continental, regional and national level in more than 35 member states. Key areas of engagement include Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention, Governance and Migration, Sustainable Economic Growth and Employment, as well as Health and Social Development.
The GIZ African Union Office headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with further staff based in South Africa, Ghana, and Germany provides services and support in the areas of procurement, financial management, events and travel, human resources, internal operations, communication, and portfolio management to all GIZ programmes and projects that are implemented in partnership with the African Union.
Illicit financial outflows from Africa jeopardise the integrity of financial systems and the continent’s socio-economic development by stripping countries of much needed resources. The AU-Programme on Strengthening Financing for Development in Africa through Combatting Illicit Financial Flows and Effective Debt aims at providing on-demand technical expertise for policy, legislative and regulatory reforms, enhancing awareness and capacities on combatting IFF through prevention, investigation, tracing and recovery of assets.
