Open-Call
Power Africa addresses one of the most pressing challenges to sustainable economic growth and development in sub Saharan Africa – access to electric power. Launched by President Obama in June 2013, Power Africa is working with African governments, the private sector, and other partners to add more than 30,000 megawatts (MW) of cleaner, more efficient electricity generation capacity as well as increase electricity access by adding 60 million new home and business connections throughout all of sub Saharan Africa. USAID coordinates the initiative with 11 other Federal Government agencies and the National Security Council, as well as working closely with development partners and private sector partners.
Power Africa is releasing an open-call for ambitious, hard working professionals interested in helping to provide additional energy to sub-Saharan Africa. Over the next weeks and months Power Africa will work to hire new graduates, mid-careers and Senior Officials looking for new adventures in their career. The upcoming positions will range from Administrative Assistants to Senior Advisors. If you are interested in joining this exciting team please send your CV and a cover letter to powerafricacareers@usaid.gov with “Open Call” as the subject. We will then send you notifications of any upcoming positions within Power Africa.
