**Background**

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an inter-governmental organisation headquartered in Abu Dhabi, mandated to promote the widespread and increased adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity. IRENA’s mission is to play a leading role in the ongoing transformation of the global energy systems as a centre of excellence for knowledge and innovation, a global voice of renewable energy, a network hub for all stakeholders and a source of advice and support for countries. At present, IRENA has 168 Members (167 States and the European Union) that acceded to its Statute, and 16 additional States in the process of accession and actively engaged.

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. This entails analytical work on policy and finance, developing renewable energy statistics, giving input to advisory services that the Agency provides to its member states and at regional levels, developing and operating knowledge tools and analysis services for project facilitation and targeted engagement with the private sector and civil society.

Key activities of the Statistics Team include the collection and analysis of data from Member States using the IRENA Renewable Energy Statistics Questionnaire, desk research and other data sources such as industry associations. In addition to data collection, the team is also engaged in data dissemination through avenues such as the IRENA website, international events and statistical publications as well as the development of methodological guidance.

**Objectives of the Internship Assignment**

The Intern will assist the Statistics Team to conduct data validation, review data gaps and assess the availability of data from other sources, with a view to developing future collaboration on this topic with other agencies. The main objective of this exercise will be to strengthen IRENA’s off
- grid renewables database and develop a more systematic process towards the collation of this information at the global level.

Objectives include the following:

- **Data collection**: Addition of off-grid RE capacity and production statistics by end-use to IRENA off-grid statistics database and following IRENA classification and measurement conventions, along with number of beneficiaries where available.
- **Data validation**: Discrepancies between the main statistics database and the off-grid database corrected, aligning off-grid data in the two databases.
- **Data sourcing**: Catalogued data references providing the sources for all data added to the statistics team’s document management system.
- **Reporting**: Data source documentation expanded to include new off-grid solar and biogas data sources.

**Particular Functions**

The Intern will help the Statistics Team to collect and compile off-grid renewable energy data in areas such as the following:

- **Solar lights and home systems**: number and capacities of systems sold or distributed in recent years.
- **Solar panels in public facilities**: capacities installed in schools, hospitals, public lighting, and other facilities.
