2. National Coordinator, Climate Aggregation Platform (CAP)

 

Background

I. Job Purpose and Organizational Context

UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field- based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.

Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. BPPS staff provides technical advice to Country Offices; advocates for UNDP corporate messages; represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora, including public-private, government and civil society dialogues; and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas.

BPPS works closely with UNDP’s Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP’s development programmes. BPPS assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working. BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts.

As a Global Environment Facility (GEF) Implementing Agency and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Accredited Entity (together, GEF and GCF are considered ‘vertical funds’), UNDP also supports countries in addressing development, climate, and ecosystem sustainability in an integrated manner. The UNDP Nature, Climate and Energy Unit is based in BPPS and is responsible for providing leadership and technical support for, among other areas, delivery of the Environment and Sustainable Development pillar of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. The principal areas of work are in environmental mainstreaming, environmental finance, adaptation to climate change, and local governance of resources, including energy.

The Climate Aggregation Platform (CAP) is a Nature, Climate and Energy Unit GEF-funded project which, in partnership with the Climate Bonds Initiative, seeks to promote the scale-up of financial aggregation for small-

scale, low-carbon energy assets in developing countries. The project aims to advance and raise awareness for innovative solutions to market barriers for financial aggregation. In so doing, the project can contribute to improving the lives of citizens in developing countries, bringing about affordable, reliable and clean energy.

The CAP’s activities and value proposition will be formulated in terms of a global offer and an in-country offer:

  • Global offer: global awareness raising, knowledge management products and global network;
  • In-country offer: an initial two to three in-country or regional initiatives (initial initiatives identified in Rwanda and Uganda), each centered around (i) a showcase transaction, likely in partnership with a development bank and/or the private sector, and (ii) tailored market development activities from a menu of services, such as market assessments, standardization efforts and addressing tax/regulatory barriers.

CAP’s primary focus is on advancing solutions to market barriers, and subsequentially raising awareness around those solutions. The project seeks to support innovative solutions. Innovative solutions can be understood as new, first-of-a- kind solutions in a particular market. Where possible, the CAP will prioritize innovative solutions which promise high impact, transform and/or disrupt established approaches.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has provided initial seed-funding to establish the CAP in the form of an initial USD 2 million grant. UNDP is the project implementing entity and the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI), as a Responsible Party to UNDP, will implement specific pre-identified activities.

The CAP National Coordinator (NC) will be based in Kigali, Rwanda and will be part of the global CAP Project Team. The National Coordinator will support the successful execution of the CAP project’s in-country activities in Rwanda and other regional activities. The National Coordinator will also contribute to the implementation of the project’s global offer.

The National Coordinator will provide both administrative and technical input for the implementation of CAP and will support the work of the global CAP Project Team. Administratively, the National Coordinator will support the day-to-day running of the project’s in-country/in-region activities, while technically, the National Coordinator will draw on his/her financial expertise to guide the project’s direction and activities.

As a primary objective, the National Coordinator will assist in identifying and bringing together relevant stakeholders (e.g. energy companies, investors, DFIs, government, development partners, etc.) in order to source, assess and support showcase CAP financial aggregation transactions. The National Coordinator will work closely with the CAP Project team to first define the CAP’s assistance to these transactions (e.g. providing technical assistance related to SPV structuring, regulatory matters, etc.) and thereafter organize and support the delivery such assistance.

The National Coordinator will lead the development of a detailed market assessment providing an in-depth analysis and vision for financial aggregation for Rwanda. The National Coordinator will also contribute to the production of other knowledge products, including national action plans, case studies, blog posts.

The National Coordinator will establish a National Working Group (NWG) consisting of relevant stakeholders in Rwanda. The purpose of the working group will be to guide and inform the CAP’s in-country activities, including proposing suitable showcase transactions, and providing inputs into the market assessments, CAP national action plans and CAP market development activities. The working group will also act as a broader forum to facilitate networking, coordination and sharing of information amongst national actors. The National Coordinator will manage and run the secretariat of the NWG.

Furthermore, the National Coordinator will also support the implementation of CAP market development / barrier-removal activities in Rwanda.

The National Coordinator will work closely with other CAP project team members, with the Head of the Sustainable Growth Unit and other programme analysts at the UNDP Rwanda Country Office, staff from UNDP’s BPPS/Nature, Climate and Energy Unit, project consultants and partners. The National Coordinator will report to the Global Energy and Finance Advisor and the Program Specialist and to the Head of Sustainable Growth Unit, UNDP Rwanda Country Office.

1.   ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND

Smart Africa is a bold and innovative commitment from African Heads of State and Government to accelerate sustainable socio-economic development on the continent, ushering Africa into a knowledge economy through affordable access to Broadband and usage of Information and Communications Technologies.

The Transform Africa Summit held in Kigali, Rwanda on 28th-31st October 2013 culminated in the adoption of the Smart Africa Manifesto document by seven (7) African Heads of States (Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Mali, Gabon, Burkina Faso) in which they committed to providing leadership in accelerating socio-economic development through ICT’s.

On 30th -31st January 2014, The Smart Africa Manifesto was endorsed by all Heads of State and Government of the African Union at the 22nd Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union in Addis Ababa. This development places the Manifesto at the heart of the ICT agenda in Africa beyond just the 7 original signatories at the Summit to all the 54 African countries. The Smart Africa Alliance has since grown to include 31 African countries that represent 750+ million people.

The Smart Africa Manifesto aims to put ICT at the center of national socio-economic development agenda of member countries; improve access to ICT especially Broadband; to improve accountability, efficiency, and openness through ICT promoting the introduction of advanced technologies in telecommunication; to put Private Sector first, and to leverage ICT to promote sustainable development.

2. PROJECT BACKGROUND

Over the past decade, Africa has made great strides in enrolling children in school, with some countries providing free primary education for the first nine years. Despite this achievement, the average Human Capital Index (HCI) falls below the average, with one of the highest being 52 on a scale of 100, education being a major determinant factor.

With a population estimated to approximately 1.3bn people who are majorly youthful, ensuring quality jobs to leverage on the continent’s demographic opportunity is set to be one of Africa’s game-changer. An estimated 15 to 20 million increasingly well-educated young people will join the African workforce every year for the next three decades.

The Smart Africa Digital Academy (SADA) is the delivery vehicle of the Smart Africa capacity building and skills development activities across the various digital skills spectrum. It is a pan-African dynamic learning ecosystem in which African citizens of all ages and social classes can gain or improve their digital skills, gain qualifications, meet the emerging talent needs of employers, industry or be self-reliant.

The birth of SADA was driven by the need to meet a genuine need for sustainable jobs driven by the fact that 15% of the world’s working-age population are expected to be from Africa by 2030. The governments of the Smart Africa Member States recognize the urgency to drive inclusion and economic growth through the development and adoption of strategies for education and skills development to build this required future workforce.

Digital skills development at all levels – from basic to competency-based – is required to allow the uptake of new technologies in the economy, increase productivity, support growth while avoiding unnecessary disruptions in the labor market and society.

1. ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND

SMART Africa is a bold and innovative commitment from African Heads of State and Government and a wide range of stakeholders including the private sector, international non-government organizations, and academia to accelerate sustainable socio-economic development on the continent, ushering Africa into a knowledge economy through affordable access to Broadband and usage of Information and Communications Technologies.

The Smart Africa agenda is led by visionary Heads of State who believe in ICT’s power for the advancement and betterment of the African continent. This agenda will lead Africa to the 4th industrial revolution, using the transformative power of ICTs through successful implementation and deployment of major ICT infrastructure, applications, services, and creating locally relevant content for Africa while developing a vibrant ICT industry and creating jobs.

Smart Africa aims to put ICT at the Center of the National socioeconomic development agenda of member countries, improve access to ICT, especially Broadband, improve accountability, efficiency, and openness through ICT. It promotes the introduction of advanced technologies in telecommunication while putting the Private Sector first and leveraging ICT to promote sustainable development.

2.  PROJECT BACKGROUND

Over the past decade, Africa has made great strides in enrolling children in school, with some countries providing free primary education for the first nine years. Despite this achievement, the average Human Capital Index (HCI) falls below the average, with one of the highest being 52 on a scale of 100, education being a major determinant factor.

With a population estimated to approximately 1.3bn people who are majorly youthful, ensuring quality jobs to leverage on the continent’s demographic opportunity is set to be one of Africa’s game-changer. An estimated 15 to 20 million increasingly well-educated young people will join the African workforce every year for the next three decades.

The Smart Africa Digital Academy (SADA) is the delivery vehicle of the Smart Africa capacity building and skills development activities across the various digital skills spectrum. It is a pan-African dynamic learning ecosystem in which African citizens of all ages and social classes can gain or improve their digital skills, gain qualifications, meet the emerging talent needs of employers, industry or be self-reliant.

The birth of SADA was driven by the need to meet a genuine need for sustainable jobs driven by the fact that 15% of the world’s working-age population are expected to be from Africa by 2030. The governments of the Smart Africa Member States recognize the urgency to drive inclusion and economic growth through the development and adoption of strategies for education and skills development to build this required future workforce.

Digital skills development at all levels – from basic to competency-based – is required to allow the uptake of new technologies in the economy, increase productivity, support growth while avoiding unnecessary disruptions in the labor market and society.

Mukiganiro amarebe.com yagiranye na Dogiteri Marcel, iyi mpuguke yaduhaye inkomoko ndetse n`ishusho y`umushinga mumagambo akurikira:

Dr Marcel ati<< Mu mwaka wa 1960, umugabo Alfred (Freddy) Heineken ubwo yatemberaga mu kirwa cya Curaçao kimwe mu birwa bya Karayibe (Caraïbes) yatunguwe no kubona amacupa y’uruganda rwa sekuru yayoboraga yuzuye ahantu hose ndetse ateye umwanda. Ngo ntiwashoboraga kugenda metero eshanu utabonye icupa rya Heineken. Yongeye kwitegerza umugi abona abantu benshi batuye mu mazu adafatika ndetse hari n’abatagira aho barambika umusaya.

Nyuma yo gusubira iwe mu gihugu cy’Ubuhorandi, afata umugambi wo gukoresha icupa rizafasha gucyemura ikibazo yari yabonye. Iri ryagombaga kuba rimeze nk’itafari rikaba ryari kuzajya rikoreshwa mu kubaka amazu y’abatishoboye ku isi yose igihe inzoga yari kuzaba imaze kunyobwa>>

Ati << Gusa izi nzozi za Freddy Heineken ntizaje gushoboka kubera impamvu zirimo ubunini bw’icupa ndetse n’imitere yaryo. Uku kuburizwamo kw’inzozi za Freddy Heineken kwatumye ubu mu bihugu by’inshi by’isi, usanga amacupa y’uru ruganda yandagaye hirya no hino kubera ko yoherezwa nyamara ntaburyo bwateganyijwe bwo kuyasubiza kuruganda.  Aya macupa rero ndetse n’andi nkayo akaba ateye imbogamizi mu rwego rwo kurwana ku bidukikije no kurwanya imyanda n’ingaruka igira kubuzima bw’abantu n’ubw’ibindi binyabuzima>>

Ibi rero bikaba ari bimwe mu byatumye Dogiteri Ngirinshuti Marcel atangiza umushinga     « zéro déchet-Heineken en Afrique  » /Heineken-waste Zero in Africa/ cyangwa  « Nta mwanda wa Heineken muri Afurika » (mu kinyarwanda).

Nkuko yakomeje abisobanura, uyu mushinga ukaba ugamije  gushyira inzozi za Freddy Heineken mu bikorwa hakoreshejwe amacupa yemejwe ndetse akoreshwa n’uruganda rwa Heineken ndetse n’andi asangwa mu myanda hirya no hino ku isi ariko cyane cyane muri Afurika.

Nyuma y’imyaka myinshi y’ubushakashatsi umaze ukorera mu gihugu cya Kameruni ( Cameroun), uyu mushinga witeguye kugeza ibikorwa byawo mu bindi bihugu byo muri Afurika mu rwego rwo kubungabunga ibidukikije, kurwanya ibiza no guteza imbere imibereho myiza y’abaturage.

Dogiteri Marcel yanatubwiye kandi intego z’umushinga zirimo Gufasha abatishoboye kuba mu nzu nziza kandi zidahenze ;Kurwana kubidukikije, kwihangira umurimo ndetse no Guhesha agaciro ibyo bamwe babona nk’ibitagira akamaro.

Dogiteri Ngirinshuti Marcel apima imiterere y’urukuta rwimukanwa
Urukuta rwimukanwa rwinjira mu kigo umushinga ukoreramo
Dogiteri Ngirinshuti Marcel asobanurira abashyitsi umushinga n’ibyiza byawo (Hagati)
Amafu atandukanye avangwa n’isima mu kubaka ahantu hari ubuhehere bukabije

Uretse kandi kuba uyu mushinga witezweho kuzatanga umusanzu ukomeye mukubungabunga ibidukikije, ubu wamaze no kwinjizwa muri gahunda z`ingenzi z`amasomo atangirwa muri iyi kaminuza nkuko byatangajwe n`umuyobozi mukuru wayo kumunsi mpuzamahanga wo kurwanya umwanda kunshuro yawo ya 4 ari nabwo uyu mushinga washyirwaga ahagaragara ndetse Dogiteri Marcel akanamurika igitabo  gifite impapuro zigera ku 120 gisobanura byinshi kuri uyu musjinga.
