Job-ID: V000053829 Location: Erbil Assignment period: 11/01/2023 - 03/31/2024 Field: Peace, Security and Emergency Type of employment: full- or part-time Application deadline: 08/07/2023Since 2011, Syria has been in the situation of violent conflict. GIZ remotely supports civil society actors and target groups in Syria as well as the UN-led political process. 9 projects in 5 locations (Gaziantep and Istanbul/Türkiye, Beirut/Lebanon, Erbil/Northern Iraq and Berlin) form the Syria portfolio and are commissioned by both the Federal Foreign Office (AA) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and are co-financed by the European Union (EU) and other donors. The portfolio operates in a highly sensitive political environment and is breaking new ground with many of the projects; the need for flexibility and innovation in operational matters is therefore considerably high.
The project “Support to Stabilisation and Promotion of Civil Society in Syria” (USZS), funded by the Federal Foreign Office (AA), contributes to the engagement of the German Government for a peaceful, political transition in Syria and is part of the German commitment in the Global Coalition against Daesh. The project enables civil society stakeholders to implement local initiatives which promote social cohesion, conflict prevention and resilience to extremism. The aim of the project is to improve the living conditions of the Syrian population as well as political and social participation, thereby contributing to the stabilisation of selected regions. It is intended to reduce susceptibility to extremism and prepare for a local, inclusive and peaceful transition process in Syria.
Due to the security situation in Syria, the project is being managed remotely from Gaziantep/Türkiye and Erbil/Iraq.
We are pleased to offer you a first impression on topics such as climate, services and health care in Iraq.
