Background The Government of Somaliland has received a grant from the World Bank to implement the Somali Electricity Sector Recovery Project (SESRP). The Project Development Objective of SESRP is to increase access to electricity services and to re-establish the electricity supply industry in the Project Areas. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (the Ministry) has established a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to carry out the day-to-day activities of project planning, coordination, and implementation of the Somali Electricity Sector Recovery Project. The project comprises of the following four components: (i) Sub-transmission and distribution network reconstruction, reinforcement, and operations efficiency in the major load centers of Hargeisa; (ii) Hybridization and battery storage systems for mini grids; (iii) Stand-alone solar off-grid access to public institutions (Health and Education); (iv) Institutional Development and Capacity Building. The project will pilot an enhanced Women in Energy program in the form of an incubator/accelerator program that bridges skills gap between graduation from university and employment by training women engineers with soft and practical skills to work in technical fields within the energy sector. In this regard, MoEM seeks to recruit a Technical Expert to work on operational and program designing of the women’s Incubator. 2. Scope of Work and Responsibilities: The scope of work for the assignment includes but not limited to the following tasks: In Somaliland's energy sector, women face significant barriers to equal participation in STEM education and employment due to deep-rooted socio-cultural norms that portray technical fields as male-dominated. Domestic expectations and economic hardships, especially in rural areas, limit girls’ educational and career opportunities. Gender bias in hiring and workplace culture further hinders women’s advancement. Additionally, graduates often lack practical skills, leaving them underprepared for technical roles despite their theoretical knowledge. To bridge this gap, MoEM will pilot a Skill Accelerator/ Women in energy incubator, that will be a training facility financed under SESR Project to provide hard and soft skills to women who have graduated in STEM fields to prepare them for the energy sector. The facility will also provide training to employers in the energy sector to ensure their human resource policies and work environments are conducive to helping women engineers succeed. The pilot incubator will also provide placement services to assist women with employment search as well as track the employment records of the women who received training through the incubator. The expert will be tasked to evaluate existing university and TVET curricula in electricity and renewable energy, ensuring alignment with current industry skill demands. It will assess labor market trends to identify gaps and opportunities for relevant educational reforms. A key component is the establishment of women skill accelerator (incubator) with a clear governance structure, practical training programs, and industry linkages. And lastly to equip the incubator with the necessary resources and tracking systems to support graduates' transition into the workforce. The Technical Expert shall perform all tasks specified in the detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the assignment that can be found at the following website: www.moem-sl.com and www.moem.govsomaliland.org or can be provided upon submission of an application in person or by e-mail provided below. 3.
