Junior Advisor in Waste Management in Rwanda’s Satellite Cities for The Waste and Circular Economy (WCE) Project
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned German international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. The GIZ Office in Kigali covers GIZ’s portfolio in Rwanda and Burundi. GIZ Rwanda/Burundi implements projects on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the European Union and other commissioning parties in the following priority areas: Sustainable Economic Development; Good Governance; Climate, Energy and Sustainable Urban Development; Digital Transformation and Digital Economy; and regional projects in the Great Lakes Region.
The Waste and Circular Economy (WCE) project aims to enable public and private actors to implement circular economy practices in Rwanda’s waste sector. It is part of the Rwandan-German Climate and Development Partnership that was signed by the Environmental Ministers of Rwanda and Germany in March 2022.
The WCE project is implementing a pilot initiative in Rwanda’s satellite cities aimed at utilizing compost as a valuable resource, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and diverting organic waste from dumpsites through waste separation. This initiative is part of broader efforts to create a sustainable waste management system in Rwanda’s satellite cities. By promoting composting and waste separation practices, the project aims to mitigate environmental pollution, improve soil health and quality of life for the Rwandan population, as well as create economic opportunities through the production and utilization of compost. The opportunity will play a crucial role in supporting the planning and implementation of this pilot initiative, working closely with various stakeholders at district and village levels as well as at the composting site to ensure its success and pave the way for future expansion and replication across other areas of the satellite city.
The WCE project explicitly aims to promote women, and as such, female applicants are preferred. With this opportunity, the WCE project provides young graduates and professionals with the chance to gain a foothold in the development sector and to acquire knowledge and experience in a cross-disciplinary professional working environment.
