Sustainable Energy Expert<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), with ten (10) other<br>organisations, is implementing a project entitled OpeN source Nexus modelling tools for Planning sustainable Energy Transition in Africa (ONEPlanET). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is funded by the European Union (EU) Horizon initiative focused on research and innovation, specifically the 2021 call on AU-EU Water Energy Food (WEF) Nexus.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the project document \u201cONEPlanET will co-design and test a Toolkit, built upon<br>existing WEF Nexus models and methodologies, that allow to simulate scenarios optimizing<br>existing resources with the most appropriate policies considering social, climate, economic and<br>biophysical constrains\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on ECREEE\u2019s comparative advantage, the Centre will be leading certain tasks (work packages) and participating in tasks led by other members of the consortium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fulfil this obligation, ECREEE is seeking to recruit a senior consultant in the sustainable energy field (covering experience renewable energy, energy efficiency, gender, and climate change, with strong experience in data collection and analysis). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consultant will be based in Praia, Cape Verde and will be responsible for the daily planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting of the project\u2019s activities. As an ECREEE project, activities under ONEPlanET will be implemented in coordination with ECREEE technical programs (Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, Gender Mainstreaming, resource mobilisation, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Background\"><\/span>Background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ONEPlanET project aims to develop a common nexus modelling framework to simulate and<br>evaluate pathways to define a more sustainable future in Africa through the deployment of<br>renewable energy infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, it will be possible to stimulate a green energy transition in the continent as well as a decarbonization of existing energy plants. The ONEPlanET model will be tailored to the needs of different stakeholders and end-users (public and private actors, policy and decision-makers, experts, and citizens) and will be totally open source to stimulate its future upgrades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The model will include information on Water, Energy, Food (WEF) and interlinkages with other sectors as Economy, Ecosystems, Society, Climate and Land for delivering a multi-sectoral assessment consistent with socio-economic and climate scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ONEPlanET modelling approach will integrate Earth Observation data (e.g. Copernicus, ESA or GEOSS), statistical data and information from basins to national and regional, via three<br>representative case studies in the Songwe (Malawi\/Tanzania), Inkomati-Usuthu (South Africa)<br>and Niger (Mali) river basins, which show different types of basins and socio-ecological systems.<br>ONEPlanET will help to better understand the interactions between Nexus sectors to deliver<br>sound technical and policy recommendations towards the implementation of energy<br>infrastructure to build a more climate neutral and resilient society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 3-year project, ONEPlanET will be implemented in six steps, which will run concurrently or<br>independently of the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These steps include stakeholder building and engagement; analysis of models and data on WEF nexus; development of a decision-analytic framework to evaluate WEF nexus at selected river basins in Africa, including the Niger River basin in West Africa; development of a web-based toolkit to aid policy makers in decisions concerning WEF nexus in Africa; scaling up and replicating the ONEPlanET project across the African continent and; capacity building and awareness raising for sustainability of project results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project\u2019s nine (9) work packages are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Socio-economic and policy baseline assessment within a Nexus approach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Definition of a Nexus common modelling framework<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Development of ONEPlanET model<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ONEPlanET ICT Tools development including Toolkit demonstration and testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capacity building and training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communication, Dissemination, and awareness creation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project Management<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>ECREEE will lead work package two (2): Definition of a Nexus common modelling framework<br>and will participate as team member in the others, with tasks allocated specifically for ECREEE\u2019s<br>implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main objective of work package two is to define a specific methodology (gained with the<br>experience coming from Consortium models) to develop local dynamic models at water basin<br>scale including feasible policies that consider African challenges, the design of consistent future<br>scenarios to be implemented in the models and the development of the ONEPlanET model\u2019s<br>database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following specific objectives will be pursued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i) to review previous experiences in the modelling of Nexus systems in Africa selecting<br>functions and functionalities to be implements by ONEPlanET models.<br>ii) to develop conceptual models feeding SDMs in each selected basin.<br>iii) to define a data exploitation and processing plan to create a Nexus database for model<br>implementation.<br>iv) to identify feasible Nexus policies to be implemented in the models and to design energy<br>planning and supply scenarios towards the sustainability for a more resilient future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Job_description_%E2%80%93_Sustainable_Energy_Expert\"><\/span>Job description &#8211; Sustainable Energy Expert<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary responsibility of the Sustainable Energy Expert recruited for this project is to<br>execute ECREEE\u2019s responsibilities under this project in a timely manner and maintaining the<br>highest quality.
