The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is pleased to announce a job offer for the position of Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist for the Multi Donor Action “EU4Climate Resilience” under the Regional Project “Promoting Green Deal Readiness in the Eastern Partnership Countries” (PROGRESS)”
Title of position: Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, 100% position
Location: Tbilisi, Georgia - with duty travels to Moldova, Azerbaijan and Armenia
Duration of employment: June 1, 2024 - December 31, 2027
Deadline for submitting applications: May 02, 2024
Background:
The upcoming Multi-Donor Action “EU4ClimateResilience” is jointly co-financed by the European Union and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), and implemented by GIZ and OECD. EU4ClimateResilience is implemented as part of the BMUV-funded project ‘Promoting Green Deal Readiness in the Eastern Partnership Countries’ (PROGRESS). This complementarity and implementation of both the Action and PROGRESS by GIZ and OECD therefore reflects the Team Europe approach.
EU4ClimateResilience supports the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine in improving climate change and adaptation policies to achieve the mitigation and adaptation goals and targets under the Paris Agreement (PA) and related to bilateral agreements with the EU. This is achieved inter alia by technical support for the NDC 2025 up-date, improving the regulatory framework as well as further improving the institutional capacities to update the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), elaborate and implement Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems and mainstream climate change into sectoral and regional policies. The Action also acts on a local level by supporting the implementation of local climate adaptation projects, increasing the preparedness and resilience of cities and municipalities against short- and long-term climate risks. To mobilise additional sustainable investments, the introduction of innovative financial instruments such as green bonds will be supported. In Ukraine, the Action will address the reconstruction needs. EU4ClimateResilience and PROGRESS are complementary since both projects support the EaP countries in the context of the EU Green Deal.
The Overall Objective of the Action is to support the green transition, enhance decarbonisa-tion, boost energy security and increase resilience to counter the effects of climate change in the EaP countries. The Action comprises 3 Specific Objectives (outcome). GIZ is responsible for implementing Specific Objectives 1 and 2 including all related Outputs. OECD is responsible for implementing activities under Specific Objective 3 (Outcome 3):
Specific Objective 1 (Outcome 1): Countries’ capacity to adequately measure and reduce national emissions, mobilise green financing, and adapt to the impact of climate change in-creased, and implementation of the climate policy framework advanced.
Specific Objective 2 (Outcome 2): Benefits of climate adaptation demonstrated through specific projects.
Specific Objective 3 (Outcome 3): Credible regulatory frameworks on green financing es-tablished in line with EU norms and bond issuance diversified and scaled-up.
The project is looking for an Specilist in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) to support the project team regionally in the timely collection, quality control and analysis of activity and impact data of the project. The Monitoring and Evaluation position is a cross-cutting position of relevance for all project outcomes and outputs. The position will be located in Tbilisi, Georgia.
