Junior Programme Advisor - GIZ


Working efficiently, effectively and in a spirit of partnership, we support people and societies in developing, transition and industrialized countries in shaping their own futures and improving living conditions. This is what the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is all about. As a federally owned enterprise, we support the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. We are also engaged in international education work around the globe.

The programme “Strengthening Youth for the Stabilisation of Palestine” (SYSP) supports Palestinian youth and children by strengthening their personal skills and increasing social participation to improve the way they deal with their difficult living conditions. In Gaza, we provide emergency counseling services via mobile counseling teams, telephone and in-person. Together with a variety of Gaza-based organizations, we combine leisure activities with basic psychosocial support measures to promote the well-being of children and youth. SYSP also supports youth to design and carry out initiatives to help their own communities. As part of these initiatives, SYSP works together with its partners to create safe spaces for children and youth. We are a small team of Palestinians and international staff who are passionate about the work we do.
