E-Mobility Expert (m/f) – Tanzania

Enabel
is a Belgian development agency. Our mission is to build a sustainable
world where all live under the rule of law and are free to thrive. With
our partners, we offer solutions addressing pressing global challenges –
Climate Change, Social and Economic Inequalities, Urbanisation, Peace
and Security, Human Mobility – and promoting Global Citizenship. We have
over 20 years’ of experience in areas ranging from education and health
care to agriculture, environmental protection, digitalization,
employment, and governance.

Enabel’s
expertise is eagerly sought after by partners around the globe – ranging
from the Belgian government, European Union institutions, governments
of other countries, and the private sector. We work with civil society,
research institutes as well as businesses and we foster fruitful
interaction between development policy and other areas.
With over 2,100 staff, Enabel manages about 170 projects in more than twenty countries, in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Background
The European Union has launched the Global
Gateway, a new European strategy to boost smart, clean and secure
infrastructure across the world, and helps to tackle the most pressing
global challenges, from combating climate change and improving
healthcare systems to boosting the competitiveness and security of
global supply chains.

The strategy supports smart investments in quality infrastructure,
respecting the highest social and environmental standards, and is based
on a win-win model rather than an extractive and debt-based model.

Given that more than 80% of Africa’s trade is carried out by sea, the
strategy focuses on strategic corridors. One major aim of the Global
Gateway Africa – Europe Investment Package is to identify and support
the creation of strategic, sustainable and secure transport corridors.
By investing in the infrastructure needed to easily move from place to
place, these ‘strategic corridors” can support value chains, services
and jobs, benefiting industries and economies in both Africa and Europe.

It is within the framework of the aforementioned strategy that
Enabel in collaboration with the European Union is implementing the
“Trade and Transport Facilitation programme which intends to address
both physical and non-physical barriers to trade, that have so far
hampered intra-African trade and integration, and increase the
efficiency of transport systems on corridors and of their management.

The programme is structured around three pillars: 1. Port Performance
(Improve the performance of the Dar es Salaam Port); 2. Trade
Facilitation (reduce the time and costs for clearance and transport of
goods from the port) and 3. Green mobility (supporting the transition
towards a low-carbon transport system of goods and people) which will be
implemented jointly between Enabel and the UN-Habitat.

The Function
The
E-Mobility Expert will report to the Trade & Transport Project
Manager while working closely together with the Skilling Expert,
Entrepreneurship Expert as well as other private and public partners.
