The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people’s living conditions on a sustainable basis. GIZ has been working in Indonesia since 1975 on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
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.
ASEAN is a key partner in Germany’s development cooperation in Asia, particularly in promoting regional approaches to climate action, sustainable economic development, and environmental protection.
As part of this cooperation, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has commissioned GIZ to implement the regional project Promoting Trade-Related Aspects of the Circular Economy in ASEAN (TRACE), which is expected to run until May 2029. TRACE supports ASEAN and its member states in operationalising the ASEAN Circular Economy Framework and strengthening enabling conditions, regulatory development, and regional cooperation in trade-related aspects.
In parallel, the regional project “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle to Protect the Marine Environment and Coral Reefs” (3RproMar II) which focuses on marine litter prevention, which is expected to run until December 2028, will continue supporting ASEAN and AMS in enhancing policy, institutional, and technical capacities to address marine litter and transboundary waste challenges. Building on its first phase, 3RproMar II will strengthen regional coordination, support evidence-based policymaking and foster cooperation with the private sector related to waste management and circular economy. The project will promote capacity development and strengthen linkages between regional frameworks and national implementation.
In this context, both projects will be implemented through an integrated approach that leverages synergies and shared expertise. The announced position will contribute to both initiatives to provide partners well-coordinated advisory services.
To support this work at the regional level, GIZ is currently recruiting one (1) Indonesian candidate for the following position:
