JOB DESCRIPTION
Females are highly encouraged to Apply.
What we are looking for:
In the current strategy period, NRC Kenya is strengthening its response to address the impacts of climate change on the displacement affected and to reduce our own programming and operational environmental footprint. NRC’s stated ambition within its 2022-2025 Country Strategy is for “people we serve to have access to sustainable, clean and cost-effective energy options which reduce environmental impact in target areas”. NRC has the ambitions to institutionalize climate and energy and to dedicate adequate resources and capacities to ensure that displaced populations have access to reliable, clean, affordable and sustainable energy that will improve their living conditions at home, across the community and contribute to self-reliance.
The Energy and Environment Specialist (EES) will oversee and offer technical leadership for the Kenya Country Programme (covering both Kenya and Tanzania programmes) in relation to Energy and Environment (E&E) interventions in NRC’s areas of operation. The EES will lead the coordination, quality response, project management, and reporting of activities under NRC’s E&E programmes and will support and provide technical supervision of E&E interventions for the Kenya Country programme delivered through NRC’s partners. The EES will be responsible for programme design, lessons sharing, assessment, coordination, leadership and overseeing emergency responses, with and through in-country local actors in collaboration with partner organisation programme leads, Programme Managers, Head of Programmes, Regional Office technical teams and relevant programme and support departments, including safety and security. The EES will also lead NRC’s positioning on cash and market-based E&E initiatives, and will facilitate the harmonisation of approaches and methodologies across programmes with partners. A key area of collaboration and codesigning programmes will be with the private sector.
The EES will be responsible for strengthening and coordinating implementation of the NRC strategic ambitions on clean energy access and mitigation of negative environmental impact of NRC’s programmes and will support the Country Office in the development of programming solutions. They will develop relevant approaches and tools, including for capacity building, technical guidance and resource mobilization plans to support NRC Country Office where energy is integrated into programmes, addressing the needs of population affected by displacement.
