The Opportunity
Health Electrification and Telecommunication Alliance (HETA) is a Global Development Alliance implemented by Abt Associates in partnership with USAID’s Power Africa with a goal to electrify 10,000 health facilities across sub-Saharan Africa. HETA takes a market-based approach to expanding access to reliable energy, leveraging other donor funding and private investment capital, and building public-private partnerships to ensure sustainability.
In Tanzania, HETA is working with partners to improve sustainable energy access and digital connectivity at private health facilities. In our initial year, we are partnering with solar home systems, digital business platforms, and private health facility networks to target 300 health facilities, including accredited drug dispensing outlets (ADDOs), pharmacies, dispensaries, and health centers. As the Implementation Lead, you will support the HETA Tanzania team across a range of technical areas to facilitate project implementation, under the direction of the Chief of Party (COP) and manage the day-to-day relationships with key partners to oversee progress toward these targets.
You will bring strong project management skills, expertise in the renewable energy space, and familiarity with engineering requirements and business models to support the successful implementation of efforts to energy access, productive uses of electricity, electrification of health facilities and ensure their sustained long-term operations and maintenance.Nafasi za kazi Abt Associates
