Local expert operations

The development worker will ensure a continuous flow of information on the climate partnership's work and modus operandi among the actors involved: processes, methods, funds and ongoing projects. At the same time he will support the development of Yarinacocha's capacities for implementing the programme of action. It is also envisaged that interculturality, gender equality and other approaches will be integrated into both project management and the internal work of the municipality. A further task of the expert is to support the establishment of a system to manage and monitor ongoing cooperation projects, in order to consolidate more generally the communication structures between the two partner municipalities.

The expert Lancine Kouyaté has been supporting the partnership between Dortmund and Dabola, Guinea, since August. The local expert works in the town hall as a technical advisor, responsible for waste management and environmental education. On the one hand, this involves advising the city administration of Dabola on measures to organise regulated and sustainable waste management, and on the other hand, preparing the concept for the establishment and operation of a municipal environmental education centre. In the area of environmental education, the focus is particularly on strengthening the partnership between Dabola and Dortmund.

The development advisor Michaela Braun is deployed in Kabwe, Zambia, as part of the operator partnership between Lukanga Water Supply and Sanitation Company Limited and Gelsenwasser AG. Her tasks are to implement key measures to improve operations, develop the organization and strengthen staff capacities.
