About the GSMA Development Fund and Community Power from Mobile programme

The GSMA Development Fund brings together the GSMA mobile operator members, the wider mobile industry and the development community to drive commercial mobile services for underserved people in emerging markets.  We identify opportunities for social, economic and environmental impact and stimulate the development of scalable, life-enhancing mobile services.

Mobile is the predominant infrastructure in emerging markets.  We believe it is the transformative technology that enables us to put relevant, impactful services into the hands of underserved people. Since the creation of the GSMA Development Fund we have partnered with 35 mobile operators, rolling out 53 services, impacting tens of millions of people across 30 countries.

Whilst over 1.4 billion people lack access to electricity and another one billion have unreliable grid connections, in many emerging markets mobile operators have become adept at generating their own off-grid power.  Mobile penetration has outpaced the growth of the electricity grid, which means over 548 million people have gained access to a mobile phone before access to electricity.  This wide adoption of mobile services by underserved populations provides a new opportunity to develop energy solutions, by utilising power systems servicing mobile towers and applying mobile technologies to improve the affordability of energy services.

In the eighteen months of the Community Power from Mobile (CPM) programme we are confident that the mobile sector can deliver the scale and systems required to narrow the energy gap and foster the development of a new set of enterprises, delivering good value to both the mobile industry as well as the communities.

Examples of community power from mobile services include but are not limited to:

·         Community services powered by the equipment in place at mobile towers

·         Phone Charging services by airtime sellers

·         Phone, battery and lantern charging via energy hubs at mobile phone towers

·         The use of mobile money products to provide consumer financing products for energy access

GSMA – The Role

The Research Analyst will be based in Nairobi and responsible for researching, documenting and analysing commercial business models that deliver off-grid energy services and leverage the infrastructure and technologies of the mobile industry.  The off-grid energy sector is immature and had few large-scale successes with products and services mainly operating in commercial pilots and field trials.  The purpose of the research and analysis is to identify models that could be replicated under certain scenarios and market conditions. The Research Analyst will report to the Program Manager who is based in Nairobi.  The position will receive a salary and is required from June until early September.

The role requires an individual who is a well organized team player, with a desire to learn about the delivery of rural energy access and the role of the mobile industry in the energy and development sectors.

Required:

-          Demonstrable research skills

-          Experience analysing business models

-          Experience in the renewable or off-grid energy sector

-          Highly professional – comfortable interacting with internal and external stakeholders

-          Highly motivated to drive a project through to completion

-          Strong knowledge of MS Office (Excel, Word and Powerpoint)

-          Ability and willingness to travel on an international basis

-          Excellent cultural awareness and a desire to work within a global team

Desirable:

-          Experience in mobile telecom industry

-          Experience of working and travelling in Africa

-          Post-graduate degree (or in progress)

Please note that due to the high numbers of CVs we receive, if you have not heard back from us within 5 working days, unfortunately you will have been unsucessful.
