As one component of this portfolio, Repower delivered community engagement and training milestones in Senegal
(Niomoune), Madagascar, and Niger, reaching 300+ participants through gender-responsive participation and identifying
priority livelihood opportunities linked to PUE (e.g., irrigation, ice-making, milling, and small-scale trading).
In the first 12–18 months, the Coordinator will play a leading role in:
Initial Strategic Priorities (First 12–18 Months)
1.Operationalize a portfolio-wide delivery system by translating portfolio plans into a single, integrated workplan
(activities, owners, dependencies, timelines, and budgets) with clear governance, quality control, and escalation
pathways. This system should support multiple concurrent projects while ensuring alignment with organizational
objectives, donor requirements, and community priorities.
2.Strengthen the Energy pipeline and program design (including initiatives such as Charge Africa) by developing
implementable project designs, partnership packages, and resource-mobilization materials that complement existing
grants and expand portfolio depth and sustainability.
3.Deliver inclusive, community-owned implementation across energy workstreams by standardizing community entry
protocols, embedding youth and women’s participation and leadership, and translating community-identified PUE
opportunities into practical livelihood and enterprise pathways with partners.
4.Institutionalize evidence, accountability, and learning across the Energy portfolio by operationalizing a harmonized
MEAL and evidence system that meets donor standards, supports audits, and generates decision-ready learning
products for scale and replication.
5.Deepen partner, government, and ecosystem coordination to de-risk delivery and enable scale by proactively
managing relationships with donors, consortium/implementing partners, Ministry of Energy and relevant institutions,
local authorities, technical actors, and private-sector stakeholders, aligning incentives and positioning successful
models for sustainability and co-investment.

At least 5 years of progressive experience in project/program coordination or management in clean energy access,
climate, development, or related fields (multi-stakeholder and community-facing work required).
Proven experience managing donor-funded projects, including workplanning, budgeting support, reporting, partner
coordination, and risk management.
Demonstrated experience designing and delivering capacity-building programs, training, or community engagement
processes.
Experience working with government counterparts and/or policy processes is strongly preferred.
Strong working understanding of decentralized renewable energy systems and rural electrification pathways (e.g.,
PV, battery storage, biomass/clean cooking linkages, microgrid operations).
Solid grounding in just transition concepts, energy access equity, gender and social inclusion (GESI), and productive use of electricity.
Ability to translate technical concepts into practical community-ready engagements and implementation plans.
Delivery leadership: disciplined planning, execution, and follow-through across multiple concurrent workstreams.
Stakeholder management: confident facilitation, negotiation, and relationship-building with government,
communities, and partners.
Analytical strength: ability to work with indicators, evidence, and learning, and to produce clear, credible reports.
Communication: excellent writing and presentation skills; able to communicate complex topics clearly to technical
and non-technical audiences.
Integrity and accountability: high ethical standards, strong judgment, and commitment to safeguarding and inclusion.
