Technical Advisor Chambers & Association (m/f/d)
GIZ- External/Internal Vacancy Announcement #058/2021
Private Sector Development (PSD)
The Private sector plays a key role in the ‘Homegrown Economic Reform Agenda’ of the Ethiopian Government. Although MSMEs are key players for economic development and job creation, the landscape for promotion of these target groups and political responsibilities are however much fragmented. In addition, poor legal and regulatory framework conditions and needs-based business development services inhibit the growth opportunities of MSMEs/ SMEs, start-ups and Small Growing Businesses (SGB).
The new Technical Cooperation project ‘Private Sector Development in Ethiopia’ aims to improve the growth opportunities of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups and small growth-oriented companies and focuses on four intervention areas: 1) Strengthening the institutional capacities of public institutions to improve the legal and regulatory framework focusing on MSMEs/ SMEs, start-ups and SGB by involving the private sector via public private dialogue formats; 2) Strengthening chambers and associations to improve their range of services including their role as a representative of the private sector; 3) Building the capacity of intermediaries to develop viable innovative and future oriented organizational and business models to support start-ups and SGB; 4) Strengthening Business Development Services to advise companies on technical and business topics.
The project started with a nine-month Inception Phase (02/2021 - 10/2021). During this phase, the current situation in the intervention area will be comprehensively analysed and, if necessary, outputs, activities and indicator baseline and target values adjusted.
The project is looking for a Technical Advisor (m/f/d) who will be responsible for achieving the objectives of the intervention area 2 (strengthening of Chambers and associations) of the Private Sector Development project.
Intervention area 2 aims to strengthen chambers and associations in their two core functions of representing the interests of their members more effectively vis-à-vis public institutions and improving their own range of service for businesses.
The Technical Advisor of intervention area 2 works in close cooperation and under the technical supervision of the Component Manager for intervention areas 1 & 2.
