Job Description
Job Title: Industrial Park Advisor
GIZ- Internal/External Vacancy Announcement #027/2021
Sustainable Industrial Clusters (S.I.C)
The Ethiopian government has adopted an Industrial Development Policy to transform the currently agricultural-led economy into an industry-based one, aiming to lift the population out of poverty and becoming a middle-income country by 2025. The textile and garment industry are considered a priority sector on the path to industrialization. The sector is, however, often characterized by precarious working conditions, low wages, non-compliance with human rights, social and ecological standards and poor business linkages between companies operating in Industrial Parks (IPs), international and local suppliers.
In line with the Ethiopian transformation agenda, the United Kingdom and Germany are supporting the country’s pathway towards industrialization through the implementation of a joint project named Sustainable Industrial Clusters (S.I.C.). The project will be implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH under a co-financing agreement between the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
S.I.C. has the objective to address the current challenges in the IPs and focus on increasing job-effective growth and improving the social and environmental sustainability of Ethiopia’s textile and garment industry. It will contribute to closing the gap between results and aspirations of the parks by tackling issues such as: improving park operations; satisfaction of labor; environmental and social regulatory framework and their enforcement; as well as business linkages into the wider textile and garment sector.
