Junior Administration Specialist

Internal/ External Vacancy Announcement # 176/2022

GIZ Africa Union

Weak land governance and insecure land rights are still major development challenges for Africa. While many African countries have shown the political will to pursue reforms and initiatives, their implementation at the country level remains at an early stage. Many of them lack the human and institutional advisory capacities required to implement sustainable land policies. In this context, the SLGA program (Strengthening advisory capacities for Land Governance in Africa) supports the African Land Policy Centre (ALPC) in strengthening a Network of Excellence on Land Governance in Africa (NELGA) to improve training and further training capacities in the fields of land management and land policy in Africa, as well as to promote needs-based research and knowledge exchange in Africa.
