The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) invites applications to support the establishment, structuring, and capacity strengthening of the Local Renewable Energy Committee (Comité Local de l’Énergie Renouvelable, CLE) in Kenge, Kwango Province, Democratic Republic of Congo. This initiative forms part of a broader energy access project funded primarily by KOICA and implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Hydraulic Resources and Electricity and international partners from 2025 to 2030. The project aims to improve access to reliable and sustainable energy through the installation of a solar photovoltaic power plant and mini-grid serving Kenge General Hospital, approximately 650 households and small businesses, and 15 public and social institutions. The selected organization will facilitate the creation and operationalization of the CLE to promote community ownership, participatory governance, accountability, and the long-term sustainability of the new energy infrastructure. Activities include stakeholder mapping; establishment of the committee through an inclusive electoral process; development of governance frameworks, operational tools, manuals, and awareness materials in French and relevant local languages; training on renewable energy management, energy budgeting, governance, and leadership; creation of dialogue mechanisms between users, operators, and public authorities; and ongoing coaching and capacity transfer. The assignment will be implemented over an initial 12-month period, with follow-up support extending over an additional 30 days distributed across three years. The intervention targets energy users, local institutions, community representatives, youth, women, civil society actors, local technicians, and private-sector stakeholders in Kenge, Kwango Province, Democratic Republic of Congo.
