Project Overview - SNV EnDev Project
The SNV EnDev Phase III project titled “Accelerating Access to Energy Services” is a market development initiative being implemented in Kenya as part of projects supported by the EnDev Programme. The new implementation phase began here in Kenya in October 2019.
The overall objective of the SNV EnDev phase III project is to contribute to the Kenya’s SE4All initiative whose goal is to achieve 100% universal access to modern energy services by 2030 for both cooking and electricity. The project includes two major components, namely ‘EnDev Core’’ and “EnDev Refugees. SNV Kenya is also implementing the EnDev/IKEA Foundation funded Sustainable Energy for Smallholder Farmers (SEFFA) project, supporting smallholder farmers to access energy services.
The Assignment/Project Scope
This position will support both the EnDev Market Based Energy Access (MBEA) II project as well as the Sustainable Energy for Smallholder Farmers (SEFFA) project.
The MBEA II project focuses on market-based approaches to energy access within the refugee setting in Kakuma refugee camp as well as the host community. MBEA II promotes supply, distribution and use of clean cooking and solar powered solutions through a mix of market based and social approaches. The market-based approach is anchored with distributors of the targeted products in the refugee set-up and includes technical assistance and activity based financial facilitation. The social based approach includes partnerships with relevant agencies operating in the refugee camp in order to promote co-financing for solutions targeting social institutions. The MBEA II project team also implements the Piloting EPCs in Kalobeyei (PEPCK) project which pilots the use of electric pressure cookers to households and SMEs connected to the solar mini grid in Kalobeyei.
The Sustainable Energy for Smallholder Farmers (SEFFA) project is a partnership between IKEA Foundation and Energising Development (EnDev) and will support smallholder farmers in Kenya in accessing and using energy services to improve their livelihoods and increase their resilience to climate change. The project is implemented by SNV in partnership with GIZ and addresses the lack of access to sustainable and affordable renewable energy technologies and services for productive use of energy (PUE) in the agricultural sector.
