We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Program Manager
Location: Abuja
Duration: 1 year
Job Description
- Pact is recruiting a Program Manager for a one-year project focused on strengthening rural economic development and improving the commercial viability of mini-grids in Niger State and Plateau State, Nigeria by supporting micro-enterprises’ transition from diesel generators to electric motors, mechanize of labor intensive activities, and start new enterprises that productively use energy.
- The project will be implemented from February 01, 2022 – January 31, 2023, with a possibility for extension and expansion. The project manager will oversee the work of two additional full-time staff.
- The project will address four causes of limited demand for energy:
- Limited knowledge of productive use opportunities, including the economics of transitioning from diesel generators to electric motors;
- Limited business skills and financial literacy, which impedes small businesses from assessing the potential of productive use equipment to improve their operations;
- Supply chain and product quality challenges, and
- 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.
