Vacancy Announcement

Junior Advisor for peatland management

for

The “Sustainable peatland management for people, climate and biodiversity (Peat4People) project”

About GIZ and the project

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned 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 authorities in the following priority areas: Sustainable Economic Development; Good Governance; Climate, Energy and Sustainable Urban Development; Digitalization and Digital Economy; and regional projects in the Great Lakes Region.


During the government negotiations between the Governments of the Republic of Rwanda and the Federal Republic of Germany in 2024 in Berlin, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) announced the commissioning of a new global project “Peat4People” to promote approaches for sustainable use of peatlands and to contribute to the regeneration of peatlands.

Peatlands play a crucial role in climate change and biodiversity, yet they are among the most threatened ecosystems due to agricultural expansion, drainage, and climate change. Enhancing the technical and financial capacities of stakeholders is essential for developing effective management strategies that can mitigate these threats and promote conservation and restoration efforts. By empowering local communities, small enterprises, academia and governments with the necessary tools and knowledge, the project aims to foster sustainable peatlands management that balance economic development with environmental benefits. Developed tools, approaches and capacities will also facilitate advanced peatland monitoring, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions. Ultimately, addressing the global challenges facing peatlands will contribute to climate change resilience, long-term emission reductions and biodiversity preservation in the partner countries and at the same time to global learning especially in the fields of paludiculture and sustainable financing of peatland protection.

The project is financed within the framework of the BMZ budgetary title International Climate and Environmental Protection (Internationaler Klima und Umweltschutz, IKU). This IKU title specifically promotes projects with a focus on climate protection and climate adaptation, including the preservation of forests and other ecosystems. It enables entry into particularly innovative approaches and political initiatives for the implementation of the international climate and sustainability agenda.

By supporting sustainable peatland management, the project creates synergies between climate change mitigation and adaptation, conservation of biological diversity and sustainable development. It contributes to the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) 2022-2030 under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The project supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13 (Climate Action) and 15 (Life on Land) as well as SDGs 1 (No Poverty), 5 (Gender Equality), 6 (Clean Water) and 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production).

The project will focus on the following activities:

  1. improving technical capacity to take policy decisions regarding the sustainable management of peatlands,
  2. demonstrate sustainable value creation with paludiculture from restored peatland landscapes
  3. develop the foundation for a financing mechanism for the sustainable management of peatlands and
  4. strengthen regional and international exchange on the topic of sustainable peatland management.


The main partners include:

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is a specialized UN agency that provides technical assistance to its 192 members (countries and regions) on agrifood systems, including forests and peatlands.

The Greifswald Mire Centre (GMC), Germany is an internationally renowned science-policy-practice interface providing science-based solutions for all peatland related questions – locally and globally and the Rwanda Ministry of Environment (MoE) serves as the primary coordinating body for the environment and natural resources sector, focusing on sustainable development and the management of water, land, and forests to promote a green and climate-resilient economy.

Job Description

Background
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP:  we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

UNDP Rwanda is embarking on a new strategic phase with the rollout of its Country Programme Document (CPD 2025-2029), which is fully aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) and designed to support Rwanda’s National Strategy for Transformation (NST2) and Vision 2050. The CPD is structured around two transformative pillars: (i) Environment and Economic Transformation, focusing on nature-positive solutions, and (ii) Transformational Governance.

Rwanda, a landlocked low-income country in East Africa, has set ambitious targets through its Vision 2050 to become a middle-income carbon-neutral economy by 2035 and transition to a high-income carbon-neutral economy by 2050. The country faces significant environmental and climate challenges that threaten its development trajectory.

Rwanda’s development is heavily dependent on its natural resources, presenting significant environmental challenges. According to the National Census 2022, on average 76% of households rely on firewood for cooking, with an even higher dependency in rural areas where 93.4% of households use charcoal and firewood. This heavy reliance on biomass energy puts substantial pressure on the country’s forest resources, which currently cover 30.4% of the land area.


The agricultural sector remains a crucial component of Rwanda’s economy, with over 70% of the workforce engaged in subsistence agriculture. However, this sector faces significant challenges due to the country’s topography, with 49% of Rwanda’s terrain classified as high-slope mountainous areas and 38.2% of the country at high risk of soil erosion. These geographical conditions make agricultural activities particularly challenging and increase vulnerability to climate-related risks.

Climate change impacts are becoming increasingly evident in Rwanda.  Even though the country contributes less to global warming, the average annual temperature has increased by 1.4°C since 1970, and rainfall patterns show increasing variability with more frequent extreme events (droughts, landslides and flooding’s). These changes pose significant risks to environment, agricultural productivity and overall social-economic stability.

Despite these challenges, Rwanda has shown remarkable economic resilience. After experiencing a 3.4% contraction in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the economy rebounded strongly with a growth rate of 10.9% in 2021 and 8.2% in 2022. The country’s GDP reached $13.8 billion in 2022, with a GDP per capita of approximately $1,000. This economic recovery has been driven by the service sector, manufacturing, and construction activities, although the agricultural sector remains fundamental to the economy’s structure.

The Government of Rwanda demonstrates strong commitment to addressing these challenges through Vision 2050, National Strategy for Transformation (NST2), the revised Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy (GGCRS), National Environment and Climate Policy (2019), and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

It is against that background that UNDP Rwanda Country Office is looking for a seasoned experts for the role of Programme Specialist & Head of the Sustainable Growth Unit to lead the implementation of its new CPD, focusing on nature, environment, energy, and climate change initiatives.
