The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an inter-governmental organisation mandated with the widespread and increased adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy.

The Agency implements its mandate with the view to sustainable development, increased energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity.
Within this mandate, the focus of the Knowledge, Policy and Finance Centre (KPFC) is on collecting data, developing knowledge platforms and conducting analysis to support the creation of enabling environments for investment and growth in renewables.

The Unit also undertakes analysis on expanding productive use of energy looking specifically at the ecosystem needed to scale-up investments in renewables in sectors such as agriculture. In this context, it works across divisions and with external partners. The Unit also leads work on tracking investment flows in decentralized renewable energy solutions for access and developing new analysis around how public financing can be best structured to accelerate progress towards SDG 7 goal of universal access by 2030. Furthermore, the Unit is also responsible for integrating energy access insights in institutional products and activities, including the World Energy Transitions Outlook, Regional Energy Transition Outlooks and the International Off-grid Renewable Energy Conference.

- Support the delivery of capacity building and technical assistance in response to Member State requests related to policies and regulations in the energy access context.
- Liaise with internal and external stakeholders working on energy access.
- Assist in the planning and delivery of the work programme of the unit, including project and work programme reporting.
- Perform additional duties as required.
- Attend international, regional and national meetings, workshops and conferences to give presentations or participate in panel discussions to disseminate IRENA’s work on energy access policies.
