Job description 
The Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA) initiative supports cities in their fight against climate change and in their efforts to ensure access to clean energy. Under CoM SSA, cities make political commitments to implement climate and energy actions in their communities and agree on a long-term vision to tackle access to energy, climate mitigation and climate adaptation. The GIZ CoM SSA team partners with selected cities in Kenya, Cameroon, Nigeria and Ghana to implement priority actions on climate and energy through structured support products. One of these products is the Urban Lab that tackles complex, cross-sectoral urban challenges such as urban flooding or waste management by fostering collaboration among city stakeholders with the aim to co-create solutions together. The other one is the Urban Smart Energy (USE) product that aims to build decentral energy systems in an urban environment on city-owned sites, such as markets or hospitals.      📚 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗡 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯! 🌍🤝 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗡 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗡𝗛𝗖𝗥, 𝗪𝗙𝗣, 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗙, 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗦𝗦, 𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗣𝗔, 𝗜𝗢𝗠 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀! 🌐
