Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW)

About Us

Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) is a global development organization that focuses on the needs and potential of the largest youth generation in history. We are committed to creating demand for and access to health information, services, supplies and economic empowerment for youth. We achieve this by engaging in advocacy, capacity development, and reproductive health initiatives, so that young people are empowered to lead healthy and self-determined lives. With our headquarters in Hannover, Germany, DSW operates two liaison offices in Berlin and Brussels, as well as maintaining a strong presence in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

In Ethiopia, DSW has more than 20 years of experiences in working with young people using locally appropriate and youth-friendly strategies. It has vast expertise at implementing adolescent and youth sexual & reproductive health (AYSRH) issues. Among others, livelihoods or economic empowerment, gender issues and women’s empowerment are key thematic interventions. DSW’s diverse areas of intervention also include adolescent nutrition, population, health & environment (PHE). DSW is a capacity building organization and has established a training center since 2004. Currently, DSW in partnership with other foundations is set out to launch a four-year project called SAFA that will be implemented in Amhara and Oromia regions. Therefore, DSW would like to offer a career opportunity to an experienced dedicated professional for the position of  project manager. The prospective employee will explicitly be able to coordinate and lead the implementation, monitoring & evaluation (M & E), documentation and reporting of the project that aims at improving the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people aged 15 to 29 years in Amhara and Oromia regions of selected districts.
