[newdevjobsindo] GIZ Indonesia for the ASEAN Cluster anchored to the Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle to Protect the Marine Environment (3RproMar II) Project: Junior Advisor on Environmental Cooperation
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German state-owned enterprise for international cooperation that supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in sustainable development and fulfilling Germany’s international commitments. In Southeast Asia, GIZ contributes to the implementation of the ASEAN-Germany Development Partnership, which has marked 2026 ten years of cooperation in promoting sustainable economic development, environmental protection, climate action, and regional integration. In Indonesia, GIZ has been working since 1975.
Circular Economy (CE) has emerged as a strategic priority in ASEAN’s agenda for green and sustainable growth, as reflected in regional frameworks such as the Framework for Circular Economy for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), the Blue Economy Framework, and the ASEAN Regional Action Plan on Combatting Marine Debris.
As part of the ASEAN-German Partnership, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned the regional project “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle to Protect the Marine Environment” (3RproMar II) as the successor to 3RproMar I (July 2022-June 2025).
The project supports ASEAN and its Member States in strengthening policy, institutional, and technical capacities to address marine litter and transboundary waste challenges. At the regional level, 3RproMar II will strengthen coordination within ASEAN, support policymaking, and enhance cooperation and capacity development through regional dialogues, knowledge exchange, and environmental education.
In addition, 3RproMar II is implemented in Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Viet Nam, providing support to national ministries and selected municipalities. Successful implementation requires close alignment between the regional and national components to ensure that national activities are guided by regional strategies and that insights and lessons from national implementation are systematically fed back into ASEAN-level processes to further improve regional frameworks.
The project is currently running until 31 December 2028.
