GIZ Vacancy: Advisor and Coordinator (Code: ATCC) for TCC Project, Jakarta

Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is the German International Cooperation implementing sustainable development on behalf of the German Government

Southeast Asia needs a shift to less energy-intensive and low emission transport systems. Energy demand in the region has grown two-and-a-half times since 1990, with the transport sector as a strong driving force.  In major economies like Indonesia or Malaysia, transport is on its way to overtake industry as the largest end-use sector with shares close to 40% driven by income growth and demand for personal mobility and movement of goods, combined with rapid urbanization. The need to shift to more efficient and climate-friendly solutions applies to both passenger and freight transport.

 

The GIZ project Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Mitigation in the Transport Sector aims to provide support for the development, implementation and monitoring of strategies and action plans towards the improvement of energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the land transport sector at ASEAN and national level in major economies like Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia. The activities for Indonesia include:

• Supporting the development of policy measures with the Ministry of Transport
• Supporting the development of an action plan on energy efficiency (e.g. on freight transport) in the context of climate change mitigation
• Assisting the implementation of policy measures on energy efficiency and climate change mitigation
