VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

As a federal enterprise, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. We work in a variety of fields and support our cooperation partners in designing strategies and meeting their policy goals. GIZ Viet Nam is currently engaged in three priority areas: 1) Vocational training; 2) Environmental policy and sustainable natural resource use; 3) Energy. For further information please visit our website: www.giz.de/viet-nam.

With its long coastline and rich natural resources, Viet Nam’s climate and topography offers a solid potential for renewable energy (RE) development. At the current stage however, only a few projects have been realized. The government aims to increase the share of RE in power generation to 9.9% and 21% by 2020 and 2030, respectively (National Power Development Plan VII revised, 2016). In order to achieve these targets, Viet Nam has to overcome following barriers to sustainable private sector investments into both renewable energy and energy efficiency: i) low electricity price; ii) limited access to financing; iii) low capacities for commercial project development; iv) the lack of reliable data; v) the complex administration structure and legal framework. To overcome these obstacles, GIZ, via the Technical Cooperation Energy Support Programme, supports the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) with various action areas for different technologies such as wind, solar, bioenergy and energy efficiency.

The internship will support two projects which are currently implemented in the programme, including the “Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency” (4E project) and Smart Grids for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SGREEE). The two projects support activities in the areas of: legal and regulatory framework, such as the development of a support mechanism for RE and or EE; capacity development and training for the public (e.g. ministries, utilities, regulatory, educational and training institutions) and private sectors (e.g. project developers, investors, banks); the elaboration of concepts for technology cooperation between Vietnamese and German corporations, training institutions and research & development institutions.

The project is looking for a local qualified candidate to fill the following position:
