NORCAP has provided experts in the energy field since 2018 and currently boasts one of the world’s largest pools of expertise on clean energy. Our experts strengthen partners’ capacity to provide clean energy services to vulnerable populations and humanitarian operations, enabling refugees, internally displaced people and host communities to live dignified and productive lives.
The experts have backgrounds in engineering, social studies, environmental protection and human rights law, with experience not only from humanitarian organisations, but also from the private sector.

However, it is a recurrent challenge to recruit qualified female energy experts to our positions. In order to ensure gender diversity, enhance collaboration and reflect different perspectives and expertise, we are looking for more women to join our energy team.  
Candidates to the Accelerator programme should have a background in areas such as renewable /clean energy, environmental protection or humanitarian development, and a keen interest to learn more and contribute to NORCAP’s future energy work.

The trainee period ranges from 6-12 months, depending on host agency needs. All candidates who go through the accelerator programme will automatically become part of the NORCAP pool of experts once their trainee period is finalised. 
The junior energy expert will support NORCAP’s clean energy missions taking place in various African and Middle Eastern countries -– e.g. Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Chad, DR Congo, Rwanda, Mozambique and Jordan.

All new experts recruited through the Accelerator programme will spend time (physically or remotely) at the headquarters of key partner organisations, such as the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in Geneva and World Food Programme (WFP) in Rome. They will pair up with an experienced expert from a partner organisation, working on developing clean energy services, such as:
  • Delivering clean cooking solutions  
  • Developing mini grids to rural areas 
  • Developing street lighting infrastructure 
  • Greening humanitarian operations 
  • Transition from diesel generators to clean energy 
  • Solar home systems 
  • Enhance the clean energy component in strategies and programme operations.

The trainees will work closely with communities, in particular women and girls, that are most affected by lack of access to energy. Through activities such as interviews, field visits and focus group discussions, the trainee will map participants’ needs, brainstorm possible solutions with the communities and document individual stories for communication and advocacy purposes.
Women who would like to enhance their experience in the field of humanitarian energy are encouraged to apply.
