GIZ Indonesia for the Clean, Affordable, and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia (CASE) Project: Trainee (to Support RE & EE upscale activities for CASE, and to support the organization on ETTG)

 

GIZ is currently implementing a program, funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), called “Clean, Affordable, and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia“ (CASE), The programme “Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia” (CASE) aims to drive change in the power sector in South East Asia (SEA) towards increased ambitions with regards to climate change. It focuses on the four main SEA countries Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam and includes both national and regional activities. It is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).

Anchored in Indonesia with the political partner “Ministry of National Development Planning” (Bappenas) and implemented by GIZ Indonesia and Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) with further support of international partners Agora Energiewende and New Climate Institute, CASE will propose evidence-based solutions to the challenges met by decision-makers in the design and implementation of the energy system of the future and build societal support around those solutions. A joint fact-finding approach will be applied, involving expert analysis and dialogue to work towards consensus by narrowing areas of disagreement. The project is being implemented between March 2020 and February 2024.

The project objective is to be achieved through three areas of intervention, clustered in three outputs:

·     Output I: Research and Evidence: The evidence base for an energy transition in SEA is improved.

·     Output II: Transparency and Mapping: Transparency and coordination of activities related to energy transition is strengthened to maximize synergies.

·     Output III: Dialogue (non-energy sector): The dialogue on energy transition within government (and public) bodies is improved.

·     Output IV: Technical Assistance (energy sector): Capacities of key energy sector stakeholders on energy transition are strengthened.

·     Output V: Promoting public discourse: A public discourse on energy transition is established.

We are seeking 1 (one) qualified Indonesian candidate for the following position:
