Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is looking for a qualified professional for the project “Secretariat of the German-Ukrainian Energy Partnership” to fill the position of a

Project Specialist (full-time, Kyiv)

The project “Secretariat of the German-Ukrainian Energy Partnership” supports the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the German Energy Agency (dena) in the implementation of the Energy Partnership (EP) between Germany and Ukraine.

Important goals of the German-Ukrainian EP, which was formally founded in Berlin in August 2020, are to support deepened bilateral cooperation in the energy sector in both countries and the modernization of the Ukrainian energy sector. The aim of the Secretariat is to assist in the implementation of specific tasks agreed under the EP with Ukraine. It aims to strengthen the presence and networking of the BMWK and dena in Ukraine, to ensure close cooperation and communication between all relevant actors and to create synergies with other activities of German federal ministries and international organisations in the country. The project activities are divided into four fields of action which include support for the energy policy dialogue, energy policy consulting, cooperation with business, academia and civil society, as well as knowledge management and communications.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Russian Federation against Ukraine, the activities of EP were restructured towards emergency energy sector support and recovery activities. One of the key activities of the EP Secretariat is the implementation and coordination of a donation campaign as well as the procurement of relevant equipment to support Ukrainian energy infrastructure in restoring its energy system as the result of massive attacks and destructions.

Together with this, on 6th of April 2023 the Amended Joint Declaration of Intent between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany on the extension of the German-Ukrainian Energy Partnership was signed with the main objective of the bilateral cooperation to further deepen the cooperation under the Energy Partnership by supporting the restoration and recovery of the Ukrainian energy system impacted by the war, and at the same time increasing the levels of energy efficiency and the share of renewable energy sources.
