Pretoria, South Africa Chemonics International Full time

Chemonics seeks a technical lead for their Empower Southern Africa project. The USAID Empower Southern Africa (ESA) Project is a $85 million, five-year activity aimed at increasing the availability of and access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and clean energy in South Africa in order to reach measurable outcomes.

The activity will support the accelerated connection of more Southern Africa homes, businesses, and institutions to reliable electricity and increase its productive use, ESA will contribute to the following three objectives:

- Objective 1 - Ending Energy Poverty
- Objective 2 - Accelerate a Carbon Free Future
- Objective 3 - Bolstering Energy Sector Investment and Innovation

ESA Purpose: To increase the availability of and access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern electricity in Southern Africa. The ESA program aims to provide support and strengthen capacity of key energy role players in South Africa through the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JET-P) workstream. This will be achieved by accelerating the completion of clean energy projects, strengthening transmission grid, and increasing investment in and performance of distribution grid. In South Africa, the vision and objectives of the JETP are to establish an ambitious long-term partnership to support South Africa’s pathway to low emissions and climate resilient development, to accelerate the just transition and the decarbonization of the electricity system, and to develop new economic opportunities such as green hydrogen and electric vehicles amongst other interventions to support South Africa’s shift towards a low carbon future.

Clean energy generation underpins the transition and will strengthen energy security in South Africa. ESA will provide combined support for both on-grid and beyond-the-grid efforts. This combined on
- and beyond-the-grid approach will optimize USAID resources to provide targeted advisory services, catalytic grants, and investment mobilization more effectively to a range of energy sector institutions including government ministries, utilities, regulators, private sector energy companies and their trade groups, investors, multilateral organizations and initiatives, academic institutions and/or civil society. ESA’s JET-P workstream may seek to advance activities in South Africa through some of the following opportunities:

- Identify and assess opportunities to facilitate renewable energy projects to increase new energy generation using clean energy technologies.
- Forge partnerships with South African energy players to address electrification backlog.
- Evaluate collaboration opportunities with the USG Interagency and other donors
- Design and potentially fund conditional grant vehicles in collaboration with various partners.
- Utilize existing partnerships to promote the intergovernmental relations by demonstrating effectiveness of working in coordinated manner to catalyzing investment in various spheres of government

**II. PURPOSE OF ASSIGNMENT**

ESA seeks a full-time technical lead to manage activities under the JET-P scope. The lead will be responsible for the development and implementation of the South Africa JETP workplan, building relationships with JETP stakeholders, coordinating with government and international stakeholders, and ensuring continuation of existing activities.

**III. PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**

- Donor Coordination:

- Establish and/or advance relationships with International Partners Group (IPG) and IPG+ members (e.g., donors).

- Participate in technical working group and other JET-P meetings on behalf of USG in coordination with USAID and USG counterparts.

- Activity Development and Management:
