Administrative Specialist with focus on Event Management
Cooperation on Peace, Security and Responsible Resource Governance in the Great Lakes Region of Africa
Co-funded by the BMZ and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) has been mandated to implement the third project phase of support to the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) from December 2022 – May 2026. The overall objective is to strengthen cooperation on the responsible governance of natural resources for peace and security in the Great Lakes Region. In addition, a second co-financing was concluded with the European Union (EU) Delegation to Rwanda to support bilateral activities to enhance “Sustainable Development of the Mining Sector in Rwanda” in cooperation with the Rwanda Mines, Gas and Petroleum Board (RMB).
On a regional level, the ICGLR finalized its Strategic Plan 2022 – 2026 which serves as a guiding framework for the institution in its efforts to implement the Pact on Security, Stability and Development. ICGLR’s Strategic Plan aims to foster the role of ICGLR as a regional force for peace, security, stability and development. In this regard, 5 strategic priorities have been identified: a) Peace and Security, b) Democracy and Good Governance, c) Economic Development and Regional Integration, d) Gender, Women and Children, and e) Enhancing Organizational Capacities of the Conference Secretariat.
In line with ICGLR’s Strategic Plan the project outputs of the third phase focus on three areas, namely i) Organizational Development of ICGLR, ii) Mineral Resource Governance, and iii) Peace and Security/Mental Health and Psycho-social Support (MHPSS). In addition, the project is also supporting one of the decentralized organs of ICGLR in its organizational and programmatic development, namely the Regional Training Facility (RTF) in Kampala, Uganda. The GIZ project staff is located in Kigali, with colleagues also based in Kampala, Bujumbura and Goma.
