Project Intern – Finance and Administration -Climate Cluster

Reports to: Senior Finance Manager: Climate Cluster

Duration: Six (6) Months

Duty Station: Hatfield, Pretoria

PROGRAMME BACKGROUND

Germany provides a visible and impactful contribution to support the South Africa Government in reaching its goals to tackle the challenge of climate change. Climate Change in South Africa is a highly dynamic topic, which includes a large spectrum of topics that each come with their own challenges but also opportunities. The area of our work is broadening as we tackle related areas such as biodiversity, water affairs but also cross-cutting matters such as gender, private sector engagement as well as involvement of the youth. Our portfolio is highly connected to the international agenda of climate change and biodiversity but also deeply rooted in local structures and capacities. As GIZ it is our role to navigate this terrain and provide value to our commissioning entities, which include mostly German Federal Ministries, but also to our partners in South Africa. Our partners entail Government Departments, the Climate Commission, Provinces, Municipalities, NGOs, Private Sector entities and many others.  The GIZ Climate Cluster South Africa is thus made up of several bilateral and GloBe projects towards addressing climate change.
