We help them access capital, technology and operational advice so they can become profitable and sustainable. Expanding clean energy markets improves livelihoods and accelerates economic growth.
We deliver demand-driven, practical, and customised support to SMEs, project developers, social enterprises, and micro-enterprises that provide renewable energy services to off-grid communities through high-quality business, financial and technical mentoring and advice.
Our team of 90 people includes primarily locally based professionals who are supported by a small head office in London.
The organization is comprised of:
Country Teams in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Senegal. These teams provide business and technical skills training and mentorship to micro-enterprises that deliver “last-mile” energy services, and support them to access finance from MFIs, SACCOs and local banks.

The Moving Energy Initiative: The Moving Energy Initiative (MEI) is a collaboration between Energy 4 Impact, Chatham House, Practical Action Consulting, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the UK Department for International Development (DFID).
The initiative seeks to identify how innovation in policy and practice within the humanitarian sector can improve access to sustainable energy among displaced populations and camp operators.
Funded by the UK’s Department of International Development (DFID), the initiative will develop, research and test appropriate sustainable energy solutions, coupled with innovative delivery models, for heating, cooking, lighting, water & sanitation, communication or other purposes.
The results from the research are expected to inform and influence the sustainable energy policies, priorities and operations of donors, host governments, national and international organisations in the humanitarian sector.

The second phase of the programme, which started in June 2016 and runs for 18 months, will implement a series of initiatives aimed at addressing identified bottlenecks and demonstrating new approaches on the ground.
These initiatives are split into 8 nested work streams that combine a mix of global and local interventions led by the consortium partners which include improving camp level energy management systems, implementing low carbon projects and developing market based solutions in locations in Kenya, Burkina Faso and Jordan.

In addition to the private sector, the advisor will engage with a range of stakeholders including humanitarian organizations, local government, donors and displaced people to implement appropriate solutions, demonstrate new approaches on the ground and generate evidence that will create a paradigm shift in the way energy services are provided.
Responsibilities for the role include;
Working with humanitarian organisations and the private sector to develop a pipeline of projects that could sustainably address current energy needs in humanitarian settings. Working with project developers to refine the technical and financial scope of their proposals.
Leading the design of funding mechanisms for energy projects in humanitarian settings based on consultations between potential donors and project developers. Managing the design of the fund structure, institutional arrangements, evaluation criteria, project specifications etc.

Our Program Rotation Fellowship is designed to grow exceptional early-career professionals into a group capable of addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing One Acre Fund (and the social impact space more broadly).
Program Rotation Fellow Job Purpose
Field Operations: This team is the direct service provider to our farmers, with the primary objective of building the capacity of our local staff to provide financially sustainable impact, at scale, to all One Acre Fund farmers.

A rotation with Logistics would likely include managing a season’s worth of deliveries to thousands of farmers, including planning, troubleshooting, procurement of trucks, liaising with warehouses, etc.
Program Innovations: The Scale Innovations team aims to deepen One Acre Fund’s impact on every community we serve by increasing the percent of households who join our program, and by developing innovations that help our field staff serve farmers better. Example projects with the Scale Innovations team include running trials related to using tablet computers in field operations, a “junior OAF member” marketing trial, or reconfiguring the role of farmer group leaders in our operations.
Program Rotation Fellows will work together with the organization to determine their country or countries of operation, individual rotations, and then their final full-time role. We see the Program Rotation Fellowship as an opportunity to develop future leaders in international development, while meeting some of One Acre Fund’s most critical field-facing needs. Part of our commitment to this role is offering high-quality professional development and feedback opportunities as Fellows make their way through the various rotations.
