Externally Vacancy Announcement for

Technical Advisor for the Digitizing Global Trade (DGT) Project in Rwanda 

of the German Alliance for Trade Facilitation

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. GIZ has worked in Rwanda for over 30 years. The primary objectives between the Government of Rwanda and the Federal Republic of Germany are poverty reduction and promotion of sustainable development. To achieve these objectives, GIZ Rwanda is active in the sectors of Decentralization and Good Governance, Economic Development and Employment Promotion, Energy and ICT (Information and Communications Technology).

The global programme “Alliances for Trade Facilitation” is being implemented by GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The programme focuses on carrying out trade facilitation projects in developing and emerging markets in cooperation with businesses, associations and chambers of industry and commerce as well as customs authorities and ministries. The goal is to streamline and lower the costs of customs processes within the framework of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA).

The German Alliance for Trade Facilitation is pursuing a new project called Digitizing Global Trade (DGT) which will be implemented in five countries, out of which one is Rwanda (besides Cambodia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Kenya). The DGT project is part of the develoPPP.de programme. Implemented in close cooperation with Deutsche Post DHL, the project aims at digitizing trade in Rwanda over a three-year timeframe from 2021 until 2023. It pursues the goal to enhance trade facilitation through the efficient movement of goods, consistent with the main components of the WTO TFA. This is achieved by businesses providing digital cargo information on goods prior to arrival to border agencies, potentially using blockchain technology, enabling them to use this data for risk assessment at the earliest possible opportunity and targeted controls in a more focused and timely manner.
