ECOWAS JOB OPPORTUNITIES: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2011.

EXPERT IN ENERGY ACCESS AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

Department: Infrastructure Directorate: Energy SALARY: USD 120,000 per annum SUPERVISOR: Director of Energy REFERENCE: ECW-COMM/REC/INFRA-C/001/2011 DURATION: Two (2) years CLOSING DATE: 28-02-2011

Context and Justification

Whereas it has been proved that access to modern energy services is highly necessary for the Millennium Development Goals(MDG) to be achieved. Energy access has made little progress as well as the energy sector at large in the ECOWAS region. This has had real consequences on economic development as well as poverty eradication. Both the analysis of the challenges facing the region and that of its potential resources make it clear that a common action should be undertaken and an efficient and creative regional cooperation developed in order to successfully increase access to energy services in ECOWAS Member States in a significant way.

To this effect, the Heads of State and Government adopted Decision A/DEC.24/01/06 in January 2006 relative to the joint ECOWAS-UEMOA Regional Policy for increasing access to energy services by rural and sub-urban populations, fully compatible with the commitments made by NEPAD. This Policy named as the White Paper geared towards increasing access to energy services for rural and peri-urban population in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, sets out a number of objectives : To ensure that 100% of the total populations have access to improved cooking fuels; At least 60% of the rural population have access to transport to boost productivity of economic activities and access to modern community services; 66% of the population have access to electricity supply.

To achieve these ambitious objectives, four intervention axis including formulation of investment programmes have been identified. And, it calls for each member state having a programme on access to energy services and mobilizes the necessary resources for implementation with a view to achieving the MDGs in line with the White Paper.

To implement the regional policy, important recommendations have been made to the Member States; they include mainly the following: promotion of a national vision regarding access to energy services and putting in place institutional frameworks that will help integrate such policy into national policies and strategies fostering sustainable human development and poverty reduction; development of energy programmes based on national policy context focused on reducing poverty in the rural and peri urban areas; establishment of an access to energy services unit; and in the long term, putting in place a Centre for access to energy services.

In addition, ECOWAS with the support of UNDP has elaborated a five step approach for which access to energy service activities and tools could be made available. Moreover, a series of actions that have allowed the elaboration of national action program on Access to Energy Services are emerging in several countries of the region.

Finally, ECOWAS through the technical assistance of UNDP has received the support of the European Union(EU) to develop investment programmes in several ECOWAS member states. With a view to ensure sustainability and strengthen organizational capacities, ECOWAS intends to create an Access to Energy Services Unit within the Directorate of Energy. The Access Unit shall support member states in elaborating a programme on access to energy services, strengthening capacities, and mobilization of financial resources. The Unit will consist of three consultants directly working under the supervision of the Director of the Energy Directorate.
