The Experts Fund for Municipal Partnerships Worldwide, implemented by GIZ and the Service Agency Communities in One World (SKEW), is inviting municipal partnerships to apply for support through its expert placement programme. The initiative supports cooperation between German municipalities and partner municipalities in OECD-DAC countries by funding experts to work within local governments for up to two years.
Experts can contribute to a wide range of municipal priorities, including urban and transport planning, circular economy, climate adaptation, healthcare, crisis preparedness, water management and sustainable energy. Depending on the assignment, costs are partially or fully covered through the programme, helping municipalities strengthen local capacities and deliver long-term results within their partnerships.
The programme provides an opportunity for municipal partners to access specialised expertise while advancing shared development objectives and strengthening international municipal cooperation.
Deadline: 30 November 2026.
