National Intern

GIZ supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. We work in a variety of fields and support our cooperation partners in designing strategies and meeting their policy goals. GIZ Vietnam has targeted Energy as a priority area, which is being handled by the Energy Support Programme. Together with the Ministry of Industry and Trade we are working on developing markets for solar power, wind power, bioenergy, energy access, energy efficiency and smart grids.

Currently the Energy Support Programme is adding a new project to its 10-project portfolio, that aims at combining clean energy and agriculture. The idea is to create new space for solar power, shade crops when needed, and create a significant income increase for famers. The project is called Agri-Photovoltaics for rural areas in Vietnam.

We are looking for a national intern (He/She/They) to engage in the development and implementation of our new project.
