Intern (m/f/d) Communications for the Digital Convergence Initiative (DCI) / Digital transformation of social protection systems

In times of multiple and overlapping crises, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) attributes high importance to the development of inclusive and adaptive social protection systems. GIZ’s global programme “Global Alliances for Social Protection” supports this endeavor through work on the digital transformation and standard setting for interoperability in social protection through the Digital Convergence Initiative (DCI), which is also co-funded by the European Union.

• Facilitates knowledge sharing on digital social protection systems at a global level
• Builds consensus on technical standards to enable data exchange between digital systems in the social protection delivery chain and with external digital databases
• Supports countries in their digital transformation journeys
