Job Title: Operations Officer – Infrastructure Economist
The European Union (EU) is a unique economic and political partnership between 28 European countries that together cover much of the continent. The EU was created in the aftermath of the Second World War. The first steps were to foster economic cooperation: the idea being that countries who trade with one another become economically interdependent and so more likely to avoid conflict. The result was the European Economic Community (EEC), created in 1958, and initially increasing economic cooperation between six countries: Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Since then, a huge single market has been created and continues to develop towards its full potential.
Job Summary: The Operations Officer – Infrastructure Economist will be responsible, under the overall guidance of the Head of Section and in close collaboration with other members of the section, to facilitate the preparation, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and closure of EC supported projects and programmes. The projects and programmes of responsibility of the Operations Officer will be related to the infrastructure (transport, energy, water and sanitation, telecommunications) and regional portfolio of the Delegation, with particular attention to the economic impact assessment of public investments in infrastructure, cost-benefit analyses for financing proposals, and risk analysis for grant financing by the EU in grant/loan blending operations. Part of the portfolio may be the rural infrastructure component in a multi-sectoral EU support programme for Northern Uganda. Where applicable, the Officer will also be expected to participate and contribute to the policy dialogue between the Government of Uganda and the European Commission on regional integration related issues and to insure a better visibility of the EU action in the sector.
