Background
Established in 2010, GreenCape is a non-profit organisation that drives the widespread adoption of economically viable green economy solutions from South Africa. GreenCape works with businesses, investors, academia and government to unlock the investment and employment potential of green technologies and services, and to support a transition to a resilient green economy. Our aim is to be globally relevant in driving the uptake of green economy infrastructure solutions in the developing world.
We require a service provider Gender Specialist to support the implementation of the “pipeline development to deploy clean energy technology solutions in municipal wastewater treatment works of South Africa” project.
Project Background and Context
One of our current projects for UNIDO is focused on providing readiness activities for Green Climate Fund (GCF) in order to support the deployment of clean energy solutions at municipal wastewater treatment works (WWTWs).
As part of this project, we require a consultant to undertake a gender analysis and recommendations on how to address gender, unconscious bias and social inclusion into renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) interventions within municipal
WWTWs.

The readiness activities will focus on promoting the integration of RE and EE in municipal
WWTWs to reduce energy consumption and achieve GHG emission reductions.
