Jetzt bewerbenStellenbeschreibung
The capacities of partner countries and their institutions must be strengthened for the effective financing and implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). GIZ's Partnering for Readiness team aims to provide partner countries and their national and regional institutions with the necessary institutional and technical expertise to access climate finance independently. Our mission is to build a knowledge hub for access to and readiness for climate finance and to create a platform where partner countries and institutions can learn from each other. A particular focus is on financing adaptation to climate change. Our field of responsibility is divided into three parts: firstly, we implement GIZ-financed global knowledge sharing and learning activities under the Partnering for Readiness measure, the next phase of which is currently being launched. Secondly, we implement GCF Readiness grants for and with partner countries, in collaboration with GIZ country offices. Finally, the team acts as Key Account Management (KAM) for GCF Readiness matters within GIZ.
