SUSTAINABLE ENERGY EXPERT FOR EU FUNDED PROJECT

The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), with ten (10) other organisations, is implementing a project entitled: Energy System Modelling for Green Development of Africa (EMERGE).

 The EMERGE project seeks to provide African policy makers, academics, investors, and citizens with the tools and knowledge required to increase the production of clean energy and the sustainable use of resources while bridging cultural and socioeconomic divides. To simulate scenarios that optimize the use of current resources while considering social, climatic, economic, and technical constraints, EMERGE will co-design and test a Toolbox by integrating and building upon existing tools, methodologies, and approaches. Additionally, a Knowledge Base with a collection of initiatives, materials, and knowledge-exchange activities will be created. The North-Western Africa (Morocco), Niger river region (Mali/Nigeria), and east Africa (Mozambique) are three African ecosystems where EMERGE will develop knowledge communities through a participatory approach.

EMERGE aims to bring innovative solutions, knowledge transfer and capacity building approaches into the multi-faceted context of Africa through an open innovation methodology and developmental pathways focusing on practical problems and solutions, considering the economic, environmental, social and health benefits across African communities, and targeting the establishment of local business, employment opportunities.

Based on the above ECREEE is seeking to recruit a senior consultant who will serve as the ECREEE Project Manager for EMERGE.
