Deloitte Consulting Overseas Projects LLC seeks individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people in the Southern African region and demonstrate leadership, versatility, and integrity in their work. We are seeking an exceptional Angolan Consultant for the USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP).
The USAID Southern Africa Energy Program works to advance energy policy and regulatory reform and accelerate investment to increase power generation and access to electricity throughout the region. According to World Bank data, less than 25% of the non-South African population living in the Southern African region have access to electric power. The limited reliable power affects the competitiveness of the Southern African industry, agriculture, and the economic opportunity and health conditions for rural populations, women, and youth. Through strengthening the enabling environment and facilitating public and private transactions, SAEP leverages the momentum of private investment to help focus SAEP’s resources in ways that best support the reform of national and regional energy ecosystems. At the same time, SAEP produces the tangible results needed to create a sustainable cycle of additional reforms, increased investment, and continued political will.
Position Description, Objectives and Project Overview:
The objective of USAID’s Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) is to increase electricity availability and access in Southern Africa. This is to be done by facilitating transactions and strengthening the enabling environment for public and private sector investment in the power sector. SAEP will address five (5) key constraints to such investment: i) ineffective regulation, planning, and procurement for energy-related projects; ii) low commercial viability of utilities; iii) limited regional harmonization and cross border electricity trade; iv) lack of demonstrated scaled clean and renewable energy, energy efficiency technologies and practices, and v) weak institutional and human resource capacity for energy sector management.
The Embedded Advisor to RNT in Luanda, Angola, will provide project management support, technical assistance and ongoing advisory support to drive successful standing-up and operationalization of the RNT project implementation unit (PIU) for the African Development Bank- (AfDB) funded South–Central Transmission Project. The Embedded Advisor will be responsible for assisting the RNT PIU Project Coordinator in managing a number of RNT PIU development work streams, including liaising with RNT owner’s engineering team, and various consultants and advisors. The Embedded Advisor will also serve as a direct communication link and liaison between RNT and the SAEP Outcome 3 (OC3) Team.
