10016508-Appui à la transition énergétique au Sénégal (PED III)

In order to support the "Sustainable Energy Programme in Senegal" (PED III) of the Senegalese Ministry of Energy and Oil (MEP), financed by BMZ and implemented by GIZ, a contractor will be hired to support the achievement of some project's objectives and indicators.

The aim of PED III is "to support the effective implementation of the Just Energy Transition by the main players in Senegal's public and private sectors at both strategic and operational levels". The project contributes to achieving the objectives of the national energy policy linked to renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda SDGs, in particular SDG 7 (access to energy), 8 (decent work and economic growth), 9 (industrialisation) and 13 (combating climate change), as well as German support for achieving the objectives of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JET-P) signed between Senegal and the G7 in June 2023.

The expected results of the project are as follow:

1. The governance and coordination mechanisms for renewable energy and energy efficiency in the context of the JET-P are strengthened. 2. The framework conditions for the integration of renewable energy into the national grid and for private sector participation in RE and EE projects are improved. 3. Public and private stakeholders have strengthened capacities to design and implement inclusive energy transition projects.

In order to achieve these results, the contractor will support the implementation of the project through the following activities:

The contractor will provide and manage a core team of long-term experts. These experts will contribute directly to the achievement of the indicators and results defined above and will ensure the technical and strategic coherence of the activities implemented under the project.
