The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organisation committed to advancing security of energy supply, economic growth and environmental sustainability through energy policy co-operation. The IEA operates as an autonomous body within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Both the OECD and the IEA seek opportunities to work with an increasing number of non-members of growing importance to the world economy.
The IEA Energy Data Centre (EDC) works with members and beyond to collect, compile and disseminate global energy data to a wide range of users, such as decision makers in governements, media, academia, and the broader public. Energy data encompass statistics on all fuels, including renewable energies; energy efficiency; energy prices, etc, informing both energy security and energy transitions. Complementary to its data collection work, EDC also provides support for data capacity development at national level through exchange with counterparts in governments, globally. With this objective, EDC has developed a strategic framework to support developing countries to track energy transitions.

The Young Associate will report to the Head of Data and Indicators of Energy Transitions section of the Energy Data Centre, within a team of young and dynamic professionals.

Based on the framework, country-level assessments, including recommendations on actions, will be developed for selected countries. Activities will include desk research, bilateral work with governments’ counterparts, and workshops at national or regional, when relevant in partnership with key organisations such as the United Nations, and key regional partners, such as Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), African Energy Commission (AFREC).
