Caught between two offices
Oct 8th, 2008 by bjoern
After visiting yesterday the fancy GTZ office in the United Nation Building and enjoying the “down-town-athmosphere” I am back to the office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation to work on my thesis. The GTZ office is directly supporting the SADC (Southern African Development Cooperation) cooperation and their headquarter, which is some hundred meters around the corner from the GTZ next to the parliament and the presidents office. Inside the GTZ office there are around 20 – 30 people working on three departments (1) water-policy, (2) governance and SADC reform and (3) peace and security and I really liked that they are passionated about their tasks and hope to join them soon.
Cause as their project is visited this week by two auditors I moved back to the office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation, which is organising workshops and trainings with civi society actors as well as media and youth NGOs. Inside the office we are currently two diploma-aspirants, which are both working on SADC water-cooperation, and two FES intern and so we occupy the whole office while the project manager and resident representative are on a training in Mocambique. So I enjoy the beautiful garden and keep on going to get an overview on my topic to start writing next week.
