Private Sector and Trade Development Adviser to the Minister

Private Sector and Trade Development Adviser to the Minister of National Economy

The Trade Facilitation and Customs Support programme (Tasdeer) is a programme funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and implemented by consortium led by Cowater International. Our objective is to improve the Palestinian private sector’s competitiveness and the PA’s capacity in trade, customs and import policy regulation and administration. Tasdeer aims to increase sustainable private sector-led economic growth and job creation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the PA’s fiscal sustainability while ensuring equitable access to increased trade and improved institutional capacity.

Tasdeer is seeking to recruit a Private Sector and Trade Development Adviser to support the Minister of National Economy. The Adviser will provide guidance on initiatives to strengthen the private sector’s role in the national economy and to expand its reach into international markets.

Please note that the contracting may be with Tasdeer or with one of its coalition partners.
