JOB DESCRIPTION
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a state owned organisation. We work worldwide in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. GIZ International Services (InS) is an integral division of GIZ. We offer the experience, the regional and technical know-how of GIZ in the global market and provide international clients with expertise in terms of economic and result-oriented services.
GIZ International Services is shortlisted for the EU-funded project „Nigerian Climate Change Response Program (NCCRP)“.
The overall objective of the project is to support the development and implementation of Nigerian Climate Change Response Program (NCCRP) to guarantee country’s economic growth and development strategies while meeting its conditional 45% NDC targets by 2030.
The specific objective is to contribute to the creation of Nigeria’s GHG emission profile with the aim of pinpointing mitigation actions reducing energy use and costs in favour of renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. This will be mainly achieved through the creation of sectoral MRVs (e.g. for energy and waste sectors) and a waste baseline.
The purpose of this contract is the following:
Development of a good planning framework for supporting the country in achieving the conditional 45% NDC targets, working on data quality and accuracy in order to guarantee climate action transparency, ensuring inter-sectoral institutional engagement in its implementation, as well as the definition of the future priority sector to be included in the next NDCs (i.e. waste) to raise the GHG level ambition of the country.
Specifically, the results to be achieved are:
1) Establishment of a MRV framework.
2) Climate change knowledge is disseminated and increased.
3) Waste sectoral baseline and related sectoral emission profile are settled at Federal level and at State level. (e.g. Kano State and Ogun State). Waste management procedures as per international best practices are shared, known and used.
YOUR TASKS
1. Institutionalize the MRV system set up through official binding procedures for all line ministries: create the institutional legal architecture.
2. Settle the MRV for the energy and the waste sectors.
3. Capacity development of data management and reporting procedures (e.g. training, capacity building, workshops).
The Senior Expert MRV and GHG needs to create a robust domestic data system composed of complete, accurate and transparent GHG data and in particular of annual greenhouse gas inventories, inventory related chapters of the biennial reports as well as "National Communications" (NC) in line with the UNFCCC requirements.
