ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

The Energy Associate will be responsible for supporting the assessment, analysis, planning and implementation of the IKEA Foundation Energy Programme, in collaboration with Practical Action. This will involve identifying and building relationships with key stakeholders, coordinating activities with relevant partners in addition to communications and reporting on progress.

The incumbent will be required to support the assessment of energy needs and evaluate existing energy systems in locations in which UNHCR operates, in addition to assisting in developing technical energy plans for effective implementation of energy programmes.

The job requires direct contact with the target populations and relevant actors in assessing energy needs; and taking into account aspects of age, gender and diversity mainstreaming in the planning, implementation and evaluation processes; the target populations skills profile and political and socio-economic context; as well as to propose appropriate solutions to meet those needs.

The staff member is directly supervised by the Associate Energy & Environment Officer

FUNCTIONAL STATEMENT

Accountability

The incumbent will be responsible for coordination and communication to ensure effective synergies between energy and other UNHCR sectors, including protection, livelihoods, shelter, environment, programme and supply, in addition to synergies between other humanitarian agencies, government and private sector actors.

The Energy Associate will support Practical Action in the assessment and development of a comprehensive energy plan for sustainable and appropriate energy options for cooking, lighting and electricity, taking into account protection, financial, environmental and livelihood considerations in comparing the potential for each alternative. This shall be done in close consultation with all relevant stakeholders to include refugees/IDPs/returnees and host populations. The strategy shall outline clear costs, timelines and implementation plans for each section of the strategy, including staffing requirements and responsibilities, in addition to potential exit strategy.

The incumbent will inform and coordinate with implementing partners, consultants, UNHCR and government agencies to ensure the implementation of a robust and appropriate renewable energy strategy and technologies that promote sustainable patterns of consumption and production, make efficient use of natural resources and ensure safety. 2 She/he will also provide regular reporting of progress to the direct supervisor and at camp coordination meetings.

Access to clean, affordable and reliable energy services is integral part of the humanitarian response and an essential factor in creating sustainable economic development.

Energy services provide cooking, lighting, heating and clean water, and underpin all but the most rudimentary income-earning activities. Energy poverty leads to insecurity, increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), reduced development opportunities, health problems and environmental degradation.

In line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), access to clean energy could vastly improve the health and well-being of millions of persons.

ABOUT WFP

The United Nations World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide.  The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes.  Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

This position is based in WFP Rwanda Country Office, duty Station Kigali with travel to the field and the job holder will work under the direct supervision of the head of the Smallholder Agricultural Market Support Unit (SAMS). This position requires an experienced individual with a high degree of independence, coordination and communication skills.

Background

As part of a 5-year global joint initiative launched by the Executive Heads of UN Women, FAO, IFAD, and WFP in October 2012, the project ” Acceleration of Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment ” focuses on rural women’s economic empowerment in Rwanda. The Programme uses a Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) modality to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency.

Together, this partnership between UN Women, FAO, IFAD and WFP is expected to generate synergies that capitalize on each agency’s mandate, comparative advantage, and institutional strength to generate more lasting and wider scale results. Project Objectives: promoting rural women’s economic empowerment in Rwanda corresponds with the Global Programme goal to secure rural women’s livelihoods and rights in the context of sustainable development and the post-MDGs agenda. The agencies aim to provide a harmonized, political, and institutional framework for complex programme interventions aiming at overcoming deep-rooted inequalities in rural areas. The current programme will be premised on the experience of a successful partnership between UN Women, FAO and WFP from previous joint projects. The new joint programme details are presented in the Case Study on Successful Partnership between UNW-FAO-WFP-WB. Efforts will be made to build support for the programme within the UN country teams and to link it with existing relevant joint programmes.

The programme links to on-going specialized large programmes on land rights, animal husbandry seed & vegetable production, food security, pesticide management, irrigation, pasture management, agricultural value chains, etc. implemented by the four participating agencies. The partnership of four UN agencies, each having a specialized mandate is premised on a successful support model provided by UN Women, FAO, IFAD  and WFP during their joint Delivering as One programme. This proved to be effective and mutually reinforcing. Group solidarity and membership discipline in self-help groups mobilized by the four agencies ensured accurate use of seeds, fertilizers, and food, as well as the consistent and systematic application of new knowledge on agricultural technologies and food security. Following this model, the programme will utilize the comparative advantages of four agencies: FAO’s police assistance on agriculture, nutrition and food security, value chain training and normative work; IFAD’s rural investment programmes; WFP’s food assistance innovations; and UN Women’s technical expertise on women’s economic empowerment and its mandate to promote accountability for gender equality and women’s empowerment.
