Background
Enabel is at a turning point in its existence. The
major reform of the Belgian development cooperation brings new policy
orientations and points of attention, new financing mechanisms and
specific performance criteria. There are result obligations to which the
organization must meet, and ambitious targets to implement more
interventions for other donors. That is why communication is a strategic
cornerstone of Enabel, a crucial tool to achieve our goals. In this
context, we are seeking a communication officer for the Bilateral
Programme that has recently been launched, in Kigoma.

Tanzania
has been a partner country of the Belgian governmental cooperation since
1982. The Country Strategy for the Belgian Bilateral Cooperation
Program in Tanzania 2023-2027 was approved on 15th July 2022 by the
Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation, with a planned duration of 5
years (2023-2027). To promote synergy, efficiency and maximize impact,
the strategy has a clear geographical focus on selected districts of the
Kigoma region.

The general objective of the strategy has been
defined as follows: “Young people especially young women, are empowered
to thrive in a protective and gender-equal environment, to acquire
education and skills, and to pursue decent work opportunities in Kigoma
Region”.
 
The specific objective
specifies: “Girls and young women (14 to 29 years), in targeted
districts of Kigoma, are empowered through multiple conducive learning
pathways to enjoy decent, greener employment and an increased access to
entrepreneurship”.
 
The strategy for 2023-2027 has initially
been built around three thematic pillars: (i) secondary education and
training opportunities; (ii) skills and entrepreneurship; (iii) a
protective and gender-equal environment.
