|Job description=This is a role for someone who genuinely cares about people, partnerships, and purpose.

Africa is a continent of enormous opportunity with the world’s youngest population, vast renewable energy potential, extraordinary innovation, and critical minerals that are central to the global energy transition. Yet it is also the continent that has contributed the least to climate change while bearing some of its harshest impacts. Energy transitions only matter when they improve lives, help communities, support livelihoods, and create more dignity and opportunity. That is the kind of work we are trying to do, and the kind of person we hope to find.

We are looking for a thoughtful leader and a true team player. Someone committed to building something meaningful with and for people. Someone who understands that the best programs are never built by one person, and that lasting impact comes from trust, humility, and shared ownership.

Tools like Energy Access Explorer, now used by 100+ governments and other practitioners, will be part of the journey.

|Language of description=English
|Job description=Job Specific Context

The Global Platform for Action on Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings (GPA) is the global initiative aiming to ensure SDG 7—access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all—is inclusive of displacement and fragile contexts. The GPA enables collective action for delivery at scale by generating shared intelligence, shaping policy and funding agendas, mobilising resources, and orchestrating collaboration among humanitarian, development, government, private sector, financing, and community actors. It is guided by a Board and Advisory Group of key energy, climate, humanitarian and development partners. Hosted by the UNOPS, the GPA Secretariat implements its shared objectives by collaborating with a global network of over 100 partners.
Role Purpose

Reporting to the Head of Secretariat, the Policy Advisor will lead GPA’s policy engagement to secure the inclusion of sustainable energy solutions for displaced people, host communities and humanitarian operations in international, national, and sub-national policy documents. The role will identify and influence key policy opportunities and initiatives, including the African Union's Energy Programme for Humanitarian Contexts and Fragile States, Mission 300, National Energy Compacts, SDG7 processes, climate and resilience agendas, refugee and displacement frameworks, and multi-partner energy initiatives.

The Policy Advisor will develop policy language, technical inputs, briefing notes and advocacy tools for partners, while supporting governments, donors, funders, financiers, humanitarian and development agencies, and civil society to integrate displacement settings into energy planning and investment opportunities.

The role will also support the GPA Secretariat, and its partners to translate policy commitments into practical delivery opportunities, including project pipeline, funding proposals, technical assistance and project partnerships, while tracking policy progress and demonstrating the GPA Secretariat's influence and impact.

|Pub Title=Solar Generators: The Rise, Role and Revenue Potential
|Pub Organization=GOGLA
|Pub Author=GOGLA
|Pub Month=July
|Pub Year=2026
|Pub Abstract=Up to 3 billion people globally lack dependable electricity and frequently rely on diesel or petrol generators. Replacing fossil fuel generators with solar generators could save an estimated $32 to $89 billion in fuel costs, avoid millions of tonnes of CO2, and improve energy resilience, particularly for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

This paper profiles the range of solar generators now available and examines the role and potential of this emerging product category. It focuses on how solar generators can transform energy security, costs, and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa, home to the majority of the world’s households and businesses without reliable electricity supply.

|Event title=Unlocking Value Through Electrification

|Location=Online
|URL=https://www.innovationzero.com/webinars/unlocking-value-electrification
|Event description=For decades, businesses have treated electricity as a fixed operating cost – something to procure, consume and manage. Electrification is changing that relationship for good.

As EVs, heat pumps, batteries and onsite renewables become part of everyday operations, they're creating new opportunities for businesses and households to shift energy consumption to periods when energy is abundant and cheap.

This flexibility represents a fundamental shift in the role of energy users, from passive consumers to active market participants, and is creating new value streams for businesses.

The catch? Most businesses aren't capitalising on the value flexibility is creating.

This webinar brings together energy users, network operators, investors and technology providers to explore how flexibility is unlocking new revenue streams and what's stopping businesses from capturing them.

What you'll learn:

*How EVs, batteries, smart controls and onsite generation are helping to create a flexible energy system.
*Real examples of businesses already turning demand-side participation into revenue or cost savings.
*What needs to change - in policy, technology or business models - to scale this beyond early movers.

Who should attend?

Energy and sustainability leaders, finance and operations directors, facilities and asset managers, and anyone weighing up electrification investment or looking to turn energy spend into a value stream.

-Finally, energy provision requires the installation of diverse types of technical components – all of which have a limited operating life. An important issue to consider is what should happen to those components once they have reached their “end of life” to ensure the overall sustainability of energy access interventions. This is not a new topic, but it still lacks the attention it deserves. We must also admit that this issue has so far not gotten enough attention in the projects supported by WISIONS. There are two main general approaches to consider:

Over the last decade, the WISIONS initiative has supported community-based projects applying diverse renewable energy solutions within rural contexts in many different countries. We have learned lessons from these experiences in the field – both through our own research and by promoting reflection and mutual learning with and between local energy practitioners. This wealth of knowledge is available in various publications and resource materials and this article provides a concise summary of some of our key findings. It is structured along the general project cycle of energy interventions: from the planning phase of a project or programme to the end of life of the installed energy systems.
