Pact is recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Program Assistant
Position Overview
Pact is recruiting a Program Assistant for a one-year project focused on strengthening rural economic development and improving the commercial viability of mini-grids in Rivers State and Lagos State, Nigeria by supporting micro-enterprises’ transition from diesel generators to electric motors, mechanising labor-intensive activities, and starting new enterprises that productively use energy. The project will be implemented from March 01, 2022 – January 31, 2023, with a possibility for extension and expansion. The Program Assistant will report and provide support to the project’s Program Officer.
The project will address four causes of limited demand for energy: 1) limited knowledge of productive use opportunities, including the economics of transitioning from diesel generators to electric motors; 2) limited business skills and financial literacy, which impedes small businesses from assessing the potential of productive use equipment to improve their operations; 3) supply chain and product quality challenges, and 4) to a varying extent, lack of financing options for purchasing productive use equipment. With Pact’s support, local economic activity, incomes, and demand for energy will increase, which will positively impact other socio-economic indicators in target villages, while increasing both the number of customers served by mini-grids as well as average revenue per user. We envision that with project support, local economic activity, incomes, and demand for energy will increase, which will contribute to broad-based economic growth while increasing both the number of customers served by mini-grids as well as average revenue per user.
