  • Identify priority areas in the energy sector and propose the modality and nature of the required loans and TA support.
  • Develop and maintain strategic partnerships with external partners.
  • Contribute to internal and external training and conferences.
  • Create and lead multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral teams.
