The ProsperAzul programme, implemented by GIZ with funding from the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), is looking for an intern for the marine and coastal management area, to work in Inhambane. The programme was established in September 2024 and runs until December 2028, with a clear objective: to strengthen the Blue Economy in Mozambique — the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources.
This is a 6-month internship for those who graduated in environmental fields and want to launch their career within a benchmark international programme. And there is a detail worth highlighting: it is an international cooperation opportunity outside Maputo. Anyone in Inhambane or the provinces knows that vacancies of this type almost never reach there — they are usually concentrated in the capital.
The internship aligns with key national strategies in the sector: the EDEA (National Blue Economy Development Strategy), the Marine Spatial Plan (POEM), the ENDE, and Agenda 2030. In other words: you will work in direct contact with the policies shaping the future of the Mozambican sea.
You have a bachelor's degree in environmental sciences, natural resources, biology, geography, community development, sociology, or a related field — and you haven't had your first big professional opportunity yet. This internship is meant for exactly this moment: your experience can be academic or professional, what matters is that you have already been involved in project management or implementation, preferably with local or international NGOs linked to conservation.
On a day-to-day basis, what sets you apart is your organization: managing schedules, keeping documents in order, meeting deadlines without anyone having to chase you. You write well in Portuguese and speak fluent English — both languages are used in meetings and reports. You are a proficient Microsoft Office user and don't get lost when faced with a database that needs updating. And you can handle the pace in the field: teamwork, pressure, and deadlines coexist here.
And there is one thing that the CV doesn't show but the interview reveals: a genuine curiosity about the sea and coastal communities. If you care about how a fishing community can live off the ocean without depleting it, then your place is right here.
An internship at ProsperAzul gives you three things that are hard to come by right at the start of your career. First: the stamp of international cooperation (GIZ, EU, BMZ) on your CV — it opens doors across the Mozambican environmental sector. Second: direct contact with state structures, NGOs, and development partners — that is, a professional network built in the field. Third: practical learning in monitoring, work plans, indicators, and budgets — the grammar of any development project.
After half a year, you will understand how a multisectoral programme of this scale works from the inside. That kind of insight cannot be bought with any course.
Internships in international cooperation receive hundreds of applications from recent graduates across the country — and many qualified candidates miss out not for a lack of merit, but because their CV was not up to the competition, or because they found out about the position too late.
At Inademy, you can create your free profile and organize your CV and cover letter there, as well as receive alerts for new NGO and international cooperation vacancies via email and WhatsApp — so the next deadline never catches you by surprise. Recent graduates with an updated profile are first in line for upcoming opportunities.
Send your application by email to hr.mozambique@giz.de by 7 September 2026 — this is the channel indicated in the job post. In the email, introduce yourself clearly: full name, background, and a line about your interest in marine and coastal management.
The job post does not list the required documentation; the minimum for any application is your CV in PDF format, with your name in the file name. There is no specified subject line formula — write the essentials clearly.
The process is managed by GIZ, which evaluates applications and contacts selected candidates. Don't leave it to the last day: applications sent without rushing are better applications.
