Your tasks
You will support the Afghan programme partners (Ministry of Justice, police, Public Prosecution Service, state arbitrators, universities, the Afghan Bar Association and NGOs) in implementing the programme. While arranging the relevant consultations, you will take gender aspects into consideration and gear all your activities to crisis prevention.
You are willing to coordinate your activities with German and international organisations, and you will cooperate proactively with other GIZ programmes and projects. You will support the establishment of a network for female students at the law and sharia faculties in northern Afghanistan and coordinate the realisation of a project promoting more professional ways of tackling land disputes. Furthermore, you will ensure that the programme distributes information about legal matters to the district populations in an appropriate manner. You will organise the necessary radio programmes, printed matter and other materials. You will evaluate the impacts of programme activities using the programme’s own monitoring and evaluation system and a tracking system.

You have excellent skills both in consultation and in social matters, and are able to work both independently and in an intercultural team. You are willing to prove yourself under difficult working conditions, and adapt your work to changing overall circumstances. You can motivate and inspire others, view challenges positively, and resolve problems quickly, smoothly and in a targeted manner. You always treat other people impeccably – both colleagues and partners.

Other information
Medical care is provided; however, the security situation is volatile.
On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and in collaboration with the German Federal Foreign Office (AA) and national and international consultants, GIZ has developed a risk management system that minimises personal dangers and risks. Risk management offices staffed with trained personnel monitor and analyse the situation, issue security reports, and advise our colleagues on safety and security measures.
GIZ offers an attractive remuneration package for assignments in Afghanistan, with a number of benefits. In addition to a competitive annual salary, we offer a wide range of allowances such as rent subsidies and lump-sum travel payments. GIZ takes its responsibility vis-Ã -vis its employees very seriously. We ensure that for every two to three months they spend in Afghanistan, they recuperate for at least a week outside the country. We pay up to three annual allowances for this recuperation period.
We provide thorough preparation for staff in the run-up to their assignment. Briefing arrangements include a general introduction to GIZ, along with measures such as security training, and stress and crisis management, and are tailored to suit the specific assignment.
