And
develoPPP project between Siemens AG and GIZ
“Capacitating Sudanese technicians and engineers in the growing energy sector”
is looking for
a qualified project person based in Khartoum to fill the following position:
“Technical Support Coordinator (TSC)”
Scope of Project
The project "Support to the Stabilization Process in Sudan" is a new project within the framework of the Federal Republic of Germany's commitment. The objective is to support the transitional Government in stabilizing Sudan.
A significant challenge of the transitional government is to stabilize the country economically and to provide basic state services to the population reliably. Sudan ranks 170th out of 189 on the United Nations Human Development Index, and the socio-economic fundamentals are accordingly poor. The lack of basic services or the inadequacy of the capacity of the state administration weakens the confidence of the population. The expectation of the population that the conditions of living in the short term will improve appreciably in the short term through targeted measures by the transitional government is very high.
There is, therefore, a need for rapid actions to ensure a peaceful transition process. In this context, three main areas of activity, with the Sudanese partners, were identified together, where there is a high need and where rapid support is explicitly desired are namely: 1. the energy sector, 2. public finances, 3. secure IT infrastructures. A large part of the capacity-building support is intended to benefit the providers of change processes (change agents) in state institutions and other stakeholders in order to support their commitment to the positive change processes. By providing knowledge and capacity the project will contribute to stabilization and peace in Sudan. The interventions will result in enhanced capacity and performance of the transitional Government and primary stakeholders in the areas of energy, public finances, and IT infrastructure.
Siemens AG and GIZ are working together within the framework of the develoPPP funding programme, which GIZ implements on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The development partnership aims to ensure that Sudanese technicians and engineers are practically trained for the operation and maintenance of power plant equipment in the fields of renewable and conventional energy.
Through this initiative, the skills gap in the energy sector will be decreased. The initiative aims to capacitate Sudanese specialists in this sector with a simultaneous increase of technical knowledge combined with increasing their employability. A specific “train the trainer concept” shall ensure a transfer of technical knowledge and the sustainability of the project
As the two projects will be implementing different trainings and knowledge transfer workshops and events in the energy sector, this will require a professional technical coordinator to initiate the trainings and follow up on them while ensuring the agreed project targets are achieved.
