Administrative and Finance Assistant Vacancies at UNDP Nigeria.

UNDP Nigeria is seeking to appoint a candidate for the position of Administrative and Finance Assistant.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has approved a grant for Nigeria to implement a climate change mitigation project titled “Promoting Energy Efficiency in Residential and Public Sector in Nigeria”. The overall objective of this project is to improve the energy efficiency of a series of end-use equipment (refrigeration appliances, air conditioners, lighting, electric motors and fans, heating appliances etc) used in residential and public buildings (schools, hotels, government offices, etc.) in Nigeria through the introduction of appropriate energy efficiency policies and measures and demand-side management programs. The project will assist the government of Nigeria to put in place comprehensive energy efficiency policy and legislation. It will help to minimize the building of power stations, helping to save money which will be invested in other sectors. This will consequently help in mitigating the emission of Greenhouse gases resulting from generating energy. It will also help to increase Nigerian’s access to electricity.
