  • The Africa Region is committed to working with Africans and development partners to achieve fast progress toward growth and poverty alleviation.  Improved performance of the energy sector and access to modern energy/electrification are central to accomplishment of these objectives. 
  • The Africa Energy Program is growing rapidly, covering reforms (sector and corporate governance, energy security and the environment, regional energy trade, public-private partnerships, energy efficiency, etc.) and investment support in power generation, power and gas transmission and distribution, rural energy services, renewable energy development, low-carbon and climate friendly initiatives.  The current portfolio comprises over 50 projects with a value of over US$8.5 billion.  New lending is approximately US$1 billion per annum, with a growing share of renewable energy and regional activities.
  • The Africa energy sector grouping consists of two Units (AFTG1 for East and Southern Africa and AFTG2 for West and Central Africa). Each of the two units is managed by a Sector Manager. Each SM also is responsible for two cross-cutting themes: (AFTG1 for PPPs and Energy Sector Reforms, and renewable energy, and AFTG2 for Hydropower, and Energy Access.  Leadership for themes ensures a consolidated approach to the issue at hand in the region.  The two units together have over 60 staff with over 20 in various field locations, and more than half of the operational and advisory activities are managed /led by field-based staff.  AFTG1/2 cooperates with bilateral and multilateral partners in its business and AAA activities.
  • Lighting Africa is a joint World Bank and IFC initiative that seeks to offer modern, affordable lighting and improved energy access to communities in sub-Saharan Africa. The program targets the 600 million people who live without access to the grid and seeks to provide them with dramatic cost reductions in lighting services by capitalizing on advances in solar technology. Specifically, Lighting Africa works to make modern off-grid lighting products – such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light-emitting diode (LED) lamps – accessible to low-income households and SMEs, thereby reducing reliance on expensive and often dangerous fuel-based lighting such as kerosene lamps and candles. To date, Lighting Africa and its stakeholders has impacted over 2 million people. Its goal is to reach 250 million people by 2030.
  • AFTG1 seeks an energy specialist (extended term consultant) to be based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to support Lighting Africa activities in the sub-region and support task managers to leverage modern-off grid lighting solutions into the Bank’s strategic, advisory, and operational work.  The selected candidate will be engaged under local employment conditions and will report both to the Washington-based Sector Manager and the Dar es Salaam - based Country Director.  The contract will be for an initial duration of one year, to be renewable for a second year.
