Project Manager (m/f) raw material governance - Mali/Bamakoe

JOB-ID: 25959

Field of activity

Mali is Africa's third largest gold exporter. Even during the political and security crisis of 2012-2013, Mali's mining sector consistently accounted for almost 70 per cent of exports and 25 per cent of the national budget. The mining sector has an enormous potential to contribute significantly to Mali's economy and could be an important driver of growth, stability and prosperity. The importance of natural resources for the Malian economy is likely going to grow in the future with potential oil and gas deposits and further untapped mineral deposits (iron ore, bauxite). However, despite its significant natural resource deposits, Mali remains one of the world's poorest countries. GIZ’s “Strengthening Extractive Industries Governance” project in Mali was launched in September 2014. The project’s supports to the Government of Mali in its efforts to improve governance of the extractives sector with the aim of increasing its contribution to sustainable development. The project’s strategy is to strengthen technical capacity and improve procedures and processes in the Malian Ministry of Mining and Mining Authority, the Ministry of Finance as well as the Malian EITI Chapter. In addition, the project works closely with members of the Malian Civil Society and local government officials.

Your tasks

As Project Manager, you will manage GIZ’s Extractive Industries Governance Project. You will lead the strategic and technical development of activities in Mali and will be responsible managing of the project’s team. You will also be responsible for results-based monitoring, knowledge management and financial management of consulting contracts and financing agreements with local partners. You will represent the program in the relevant development partner coordination bodies and ensure that activities are informed by a cogent analysis of the political economy of the Malian mining sector. Furthermore, you will lead cooperation and networking with all project partners in government, civil society and the private sector.

In addition to project management, and depending on your knowledge and interests, you will also advise partners on one or more of the substantive focus areas of the program:

• Policy frameworks and their implementation with a specific focus on the Africa Mining Vision: We assist our partners in designing and implementing mining-sector policy frameworks (sector strategies, laws and regulations) that contribute to inclusive development and are aligned with the implementation of the Malian peace accords.

• Public revenues and transparency: We support our partners in enhancing tax compliance in the mining sector and in strengthening public revenue transparency, for example through more effective license management.

• Local development and local content in mining areas: We support our partners in developing and implementing local development planning mechanisms that reduce conflict and support socio-economic development.

• Developing low cost, high tech solutions: We assist our partner with developing innovative, low-maintenance technological solutions for more effective license management systems, revenue collection and supplier certification.

Your profile

• Masters-level university degree in social science (economics, political science, law) or in another relevant field of study

• Several years of professional experience in project implementation, with first experience in independent project management and the implementation of multi-stakeholder approaches

• Sound understanding of governance issues in the mining sector, public finance and local development in mining regions, acquired ideally in cooperation with the private sector or in public institutions

• Political sensitivity, excellent consulting, communication and networking skills, and understanding of the challenges of fragile state settings or working in a post-conflict environment

• Independent way of working, strong motivation and continuous willingness to learn in a young and dynamic team environment

• Experience in financial management (advisory and financing contracts and other instruments of development cooperation) would be an advantage
