Deloitte Consulting Overseas Projects LLC: Outcome 5 – Increasing Human and Institutional Capacity Lead
Position: Outcome 5 - Increasing Human and Institutional Capacity Lead
Opportunity Closing Date: 14 May2021 at 17:00 SAST
Opportunity Type: Fixed Term Employment / Independent Consultant Agreement (ICA)
Duration: May 2021 to March 2022, with potential for extension
Location: Pretoria (or within Southern Africa)
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 exceptional South African candidates for the USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP).
SAEP 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 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 Outcome 5 Lead is responsible for scaling successes and sharing lessons learned from SAEP activities across the region. As a regional program, SAEP can cost-effectively leverage program successes and avail them to other stakeholders in the region for possible modification and adoption. As activities are implemented bilaterally with specific counterparts, the Outcome 5 Lead is responsible for determining how lessons learned can be shared, used and implemented across the wider SAEP region. The goal of Outcome 5 is to increase visibility of work already delivered by SAEP, and – working through SADC entities, regional donors and other counterparts – encourage replication of that work by other counterparts. The mode of sharing this work and spreading across the region will be different for many of the activities, and certain activities are riper for sharing. The OC5 Lead will identify these opportunities in collaboration with the SAEP Country Managers, other Outcome Leads and the DCOP-Technical and design the programming and activities to create this regional impact from the program activities.
Responsibilities:NOTE: No relocation cost will be covered by Deloitte Consulting Overseas Projects LLC or the USAID Southern Africa Energy Program.
Application Instructions:Please send a cover letter and a CV (PDF or word format) that includes contact information and three references to info@southernafricaenergy.org by COB on 14 May 2021. Please include the title of the position you are applying for in the subject line of the email. No telephone inquiries. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. SAEP will conduct interviews with shortlisted candidates either over the phone or in person. SAEP may also ask for writing samples or have the candidates write a sample in person for us to verify your writing capabilities.
