National Intern (CSI & 3RProMar) (GIZ)

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

As a federal enterprise, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. On behalf of the German Government, GIZ currently provides advisory services to the Government of Viet Nam in three priority areas: Vocational training, Environmental policy and sustainable use of natural resources, and Energy. For further information, please visit www.giz.de/viet-nam.

With the objective to support the Vietnamese authorities on their path to sustainable development, Vietnam’s components of the regional project “Reuse, Reduce, Recycle to Protect the Marine Environment and Coral Reefs” (3RProMar) (2020-2024) and the global project “Enhancing Climate Services for Infrastructure Investments” (CSI) (2017 - 2022) are being implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and funded by the governments of Viet Nam and Germany, with case studies in the Mekong Delta.

3RProMar aims to enable conditions for reducing land-based plastic waste discharge into the sea, with pilot projects in 4 selected ASEAN countries, supporting the implementation of the “ASEAN Framework of Action on Marine Debris” and the BMZ 10-point Action Plan for Marine Protection and Sustainable Fisheries.

Meanwhile CSI focuses on supporting decision-makers to increasingly use CS and consider climate risk in the planning of infrastructure investments. In order to support the infrastructure project owners to make climate-risk-informed decisions, since 2017, a case study of climate risk assessment was conducted for the project of Cai Lon - Cai Be Sluice Gates System in Mekong Delta, based on PIEVC Protocol (Public Infrastructure and Engineering Vulnerability Committee), owned by Canada institutions. This is a step-by-step methodology of risk assessment and optional engineering analysis for evaluating the impact of changing climate on infrastructure. This is an important foundation for future perspectives in climate-proofing infrastructure investment plans. The comprehensive approach, tools and practical experience of climate risk assessment, once supplemented by cost-benefit analysis, have the potential to give basic advice on investment costs and design of infrastructure, with regard to different climate change scenarios in Vietnam. In the current phase, CSI focus on measures to institutionalize the climate risk assessment approach as well as outreach activities to facilitate the extensive use of climate services for planning process of various sectors.
