Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit  (GIZ) in Ukraine is seeking a qualified professional for the programme “Support to the Decentralisation Reform in Ukraine / U-LEAD with Europe Phase II: Local School Rehabilitation for Resilience ” to fill the position:

Procurement and Contracting Specialist (full-time, Kyiv)

(internal SAP code: Procurement and Contract Management Specialist)

U-LEAD with Europe: Ukraine – Local Empowerment, Accountability and Development Programme” is a multi-donor action of the European Union and its member states Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Estonia and Slovenia which supports the efforts of the Ukrainian government in the area of decentralisation and regional development, as a top priority on its political agenda. The reform aims at promoting a viable and empowered local self-government (LSG) and thus bringing a positive change to people’s lives. 

Among the competences assigned early to municipalities during the last 8 years was the provision of primary and secondary education. This presented a great opportunity for LSG as it was accompanied by major modernisation of the education system in Ukraine, so municipalities and schools were tasked with implementing the vision of the ‘New Ukrainian School’ and the concept of the ‘New Educational Space’ for knowledge-based, inclusive and child-centred learning. 

After 8 years of progress, Ukraine has suffered unprecedented attacks on its sovereign territory due to the large-scale invasion instigated by the Russian Federation. During 8 months since the war began, 2,677 educational establishments have been damaged, of which 331 have been completely destroyed. This has created a massive recovery and reconstruction challenge.

In this context, this Action is designed to result in the enhancement of the capacities of relevant municipal decision makers and experts from war-affected municipalities to engage in the rehabilitation of the local education systems responsive to the specific needs during and after the war.
