Project Officer for IESR Project: Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy - Application extension

 

Clean, Affordable, and Secure Energy for southeast Asia (CASE) is a regional programme that has been commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU) in April 2020, with an implementation period until 2024.

The programme aims to change the power sector narrative of transformation towards an evidence-based energy transition that robustly supports the region’s development strategies as it pursues Paris Agreement goals. CASE focuses on four main SEA countries, namely Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, in terms of energy demand and also foresees regional interventions. Composed of a wide range of organizations (nationally and internationally) and driven by strong regional cohesion and network, CASE will propose evidence-based solutions to the challenges met by decision-makers and build societal support around those solutions. CASE will directly contribute to the transition of the power sector towards an innovative, economically successful, and environmentally friendly model for SEA.

Overall, the CASE programme consists of five components:
● Output I : Research and evidence
● Output II : Transparency and Mapping
● Output III : Dialogue and action (Non-energy stakeholder)
● Output IV : Technical assistance (Energy sector)
● Output V : Promoting public discourse

CASE is a project led by GIZ GmbH (through its representation in four countries) in a consortium with country partners and two international knowledge partners in the field of energy and climate.

In Indonesia, the CASE programme is implemented through GIZ Indonesia, together with the Institute of Essential Service Reform (IESR), and supported by the international consortium partners. The political partner for Indonesia is the National Planning Ministry (Bappenas).

To support the implementation of the CASE programme in Indonesia, we seek a motivated and qualified Indonesian candidate for:
