الوصف الوظيفي:Enabel is the Belgian agency for international cooperation. With our partners, we develop ideas and implement projects addressing urgent global challenges, such as climate change, social and economic inequalities, demographic trends, peace and security.
We have over 25 years' experience in areas ranging from education, health care and social protection, food systems, environmental protection and biodiversity, economic development and employment, financial and administrative governance... The Belgian government, the European Union, several financial partners, the governments of other countries and the private sector call on Enabel's expertise. We also work with public departments, research institutes and civil society organisations to enable meaningful social change.
With 2,500 staff, Enabel manages more than 200 projects in more than twenty countries, in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Background
Belgium and Palestine have maintained a longstanding partnership since 1997, working together to advance sustainable socio-economic development and improve opportunities for Palestinian communities. Within this framework, the Belgian Cooperation Programme seeks to empower young Palestinians to become active, informed, and engaged citizens by enhancing access to quality education, skills development, career guidance, and employment opportunities. The programme also promotes the transition towards a green and circular economy while supporting the development of more resilient and sustainable cities.
Through this programme, Enabel is committed to increasing access to decent and sustainable employment for young women and men, whether through wage employment or entrepreneurship. To address the gap between labour market needs and available skills, the programme strengthens the quality, relevance, and responsiveness of technical and vocational education and training (TVET). In parallel, it supports the growth of innovative businesses and start-ups through tailored technical assistance, incubation services, and seed funding, with a particular focus on green and technology-driven enterprises. Special emphasis is placed on developing competencies that are highly valued by the private sector, including digital, entrepreneurial, and essential 21st-century skills.
To support the successful implementation of these initiatives, Enabel is seeking a Project Manager who will lead and coordinate project activities, ensure the achievement of expected results, and contribute to the overall management of the programme under the supervision of the Programme Manager.
The main responsibilities include:
Lead the planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting of project activities under the Pathways to Employment Programme (PEP) ensuring the achievement of project objectives and results.
Coordinate closely with Enabel programme teams and partners to promote a coherent approach to skills development, employment, entrepreneurship, and private sector engagement, while facilitating the exchange of lessons learned and good practices.
Contribute to the design and development of future cooperation initiatives, including support to the preparation of the next bilateral cooperation portfolio.
Represent Enabel in strategic coordination and policy dialogue platforms, including co-chairing the Entrepreneurship Sector Working Group, supporting Team Belgium in labour-sector coordination, and engaging in relevant Team Europe Initiatives.
Provide technical leadership and guidance on education-to-employment pathways, labour market integration, entrepreneurship development, and workforce skills strengthening.
Strengthen the capacities of implementing and strategic partners, including public institutions, TVET providers, business support organisations, and private sector representative bodies, to enhance the quality and sustainability of interventions.
Lead knowledge management and learning processes, including studies, research, evaluations, and tracer exercises, ensuring that evidence and lessons learned are integrated into programme design and implementation.
Manage and support the project team by providing leadership, coaching, performance oversight, and recruitment support to ensure a motivated and high-performing team.
