World Wide Fund for Nature Uganda Country Office (WWF UCO), in partnership with Ecological Christian Organisation (ECO), is implementing a Multi-actor Partnerships (MAP) 100% Renewable Energy (RE) for All in Uganda. One of the key project deliverables is a "policy roadmap for 100% RE for all in Uganda by 2050". The project also looks at developing narratives on the advantages and possible implementation of 100% RE scenarios.

WWF UCO is therefore looking for a highly competent local consultant to develop a policy roadmap for the 100% renewable energy transition in Uganda by 2050. The expert must have experience in developing renewable energy policy roadmaps and should be willing to work closely with the consultant developing the 100% RE Scenarios for Uganda and MAP members.
