This Vacancy Announcement is being published by UNOPS - ECR Geneva on behalf of the SEforALL Initiative
Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL)
is an International Non- Governmental Organization operating a world-wide
multi-stakeholder platform focused on the delivery of Sustainable Development
Goal #7. Launched as a UN initiative in 2011 by the former Secretary-General of
the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, SEforALL is widely acknowledged for its
achievement in raising global awareness of the world's sustainable energy
challenges, ensuring they were included in the UN's Sustainable Development
Goals. SEforALL is directed by its CEO and supports the work of the CEO as she
carries out her duties as the Special Representative of the United Nations
Secretary-General (SRSG) for Sustainable Energy for All, as well as her role as
the co-chair of UN-Energy. These roles include advising the UN
Secretary-General and his staff on issues relating to sustainable energy and
the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) and supporting the
coordination of sustainable energy issues in the United Nations system. The Secretary
General’s advisory committee on Sustainable Energy for All will be supported by
the SRSG and SEforALL.
The ambitions of SDG7 on ensuring
universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services by 2030 are
extraordinary. Aiming to achieve them in the context of the Paris agreements
involves transformation at a scale never undertaken by humanity before. Swift
action needs to be taken by leaders in governments, companies, institutions,
financiers, development banks, unions and communities, entrepreneurs and civil
society. As a global team, SEforALL crafts interventions that support these
leaders in accelerating the delivery of actions. All interventions comprise one
or more of SEforALL’s competencies: (i) to marshal the evidence, (ii) to
benchmark progress towards SEforALL objectives, (iii) to amplify the voices of
the energy poor; (iv) to tell stories of success, and (v) to connect
stakeholders to each other and to solutions. All interventions systematically
draw on strategic insight, build on compelling communications, and are
delivered through and include action-oriented partnerships. Find out more: http://www.SEseforallALL.org/
