A. Background
The ecosystems of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) are critical for the food security, employment and economic development of ten states in eastern and southern Africa – Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Madagascar, Comoros, Réunion, Mauritius,
Seychelles. Some 60 million people rely directly or indirectly on this biodiversity hotspot for fishing, tourism, oil and gas, and other resources.
However, population growth, increasing consumption, pollution and a diversity of human activities are threatening the region’s fragile coastal and marine ecosystems. Climate change impacts, including warming of the ocean and related acidification, and increased variability and intensity of weather events, are significantly exacerbating the decline in coastal and marine biodiversity.
In 2019 the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned GIZ to implement the Western Indian Ocean Governance Initiative (WIOGI) in partnership with the Nairobi Convention – the Regional Seas Convention housed at UNEP. The project supports the regional, national and local actors to collaborate more effectively for the
protection and sustainable use of marine and coastal diversity in the WIO. It focuses on three main work packages:
a. Strengthening the capacities of local coastal communities to participate
in ocean governance.
b. Strengthening the capacities of the regional multi-actor stakeholder
initiative (Our Blue Future) to strengthen and promote local solutions for
inclusive and sustainable blue economy.
c. Improving local economic and social framework conditions for an
inclusive sustainable blue economy in Mozambique and Tanzania.
WIOGI’s scope and scale will be massively bolstered by a BMZ funding top-up in 2024 and three anticipated EU co-financings which, if successful, will increase the project budget by 15 times and extend the project duration to 2028-29.
As WIOGI’s activities spread to new countries and intensify, the project is looking for a Junior
Project Advisor to support the design and implementation of critical internal and external processes and engagements. This should be a highly organised, determined, ambitious and
diligent individual who wants to join a fun and proactive team.
