Project Overview

GIZ supports CoM SSA (Covenant of Mayors for Sub-Saharan Africa) through Phase IV, which aims to significantly scale the initiative's impact by enhancing access to finance for climate-resilient urban infrastructure.

Through close collaboration with selected CoM SSA cities, GIZ strengthens climate-resilient urban planning and provides targeted technical assistance for infrastructure project preparation. This includes advisory services for financing, private-sector engagement, and the integration of inclusive, participatory planning approaches—particularly in energy transition, urban resilience, and adaptation to climate change.

Through CoM SSA, local authorities across Sub-Saharan Africa make voluntary political commitments to implement climate and energy strategies aligned with long-term goals for climate change mitigation, adaptation, and equitable access to sustainable energy.

Role Scope

The Technical Advisor will support the development and implementation of technically sound, finance-ready infrastructure projects, focusing on energy systems, sustainable mobility, and smart solutions.
