SIWI has been active in Ethiopia since 2015, starting with the inception of the Sweden Textile Water Initiative (STWI). The programme has been engaging factories, companies, ministries and agencies to address resource use and technical production challenges that the industry and government agencies face in the textile sector in Ethiopia. This led to the inception of several projects and programmes, among one the Ethiopia Water and Landscape Governance Programme.

The programme included three work packages; (1) National level IWRM Capacity Building (2) Landscape Restoration in Hawassa and (3) Improved resource management at textile factories in the country. The programme ended successfully in 2022 and SIWI is now planning to scale up its organisational presence and programme portfolio in the country.

We are hence seeking to recruit hire a National Programme Coordinator that can lead and support SIWI’s work in the country.
