GIZ in Nigeria

GIZ has worked in Nigeria since 1974. Since 2004, GIZ has maintained a country office in Abuja. Currently, the Nigeria office employs 466 national staff, 63 international employees, 37 regional staff, 4 integrated specialists, and 3 development workers.

The Project

The global project "Sustainable Agricultural Systems and Agricultural Policy" (GV AgSys) supports partner countries in transformation processes towards sustainable agricultural systems.

AgSys' vision for transformation is based on the understanding that current agricultural practices are not fit to feed a growing population with a nutritious diet while respecting planetary boundaries. Agri-food systems must feed people well and operate sustainably.

The Position

We are seeking a qualified candidate to fill this Junior Advisor role focused on gender and civil society engagement within the agriculture sector.
