Central among these is an ambitious new research and innovation program known as Low-Energy Inclusive Appliances (LEIA), which focuses on accelerating off- and weak-grid markets for highly efficient appliances. LEIA is funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development will support a suite of high-impact market development, technical, policy, research, and innovation interventions. Importantly, LEIA will support a variety of existing energy access programs, including but not limited to:
The Efficiency for Access (E4A) Coalition : Initially a year-long awareness-raising campaign by Global LEAP, the E4A Coalition is being extended and expanded to function as the coordinating framework and knowledge hub for LEIA as well as efforts by affiliated partner organizations. The E4A Coalition is being envisioned as a partnership of like-motivated development and donor institutions collaborating on policy, market, and research activities and interventions, as well as a coordinating, convening, and knowledge-sharing platform for non-donor stakeholders and partners.
The Lighting Global Quality Assurance Framework : This is a highly effective third-party certification and market development program for off-grid lighting products, including solar lanterns and solar home system kits.
The Global LEAP Off-Grid Appliance Data Platform : This program is a rather straightforward but high-impact effort to test off-grid appliances according to international laboratory best practices, aggregate and share the data, and work with global stakeholders, including investors, policymakers, manufacturers, and purchasers, to interpret and use the data.
The Global LEAP Awards & Off-Grid Appliance Procurement Incentives Program : This program couples the Global LEAP Outstanding Off-Grid Appliance Awards with results-based financing procurement incentives to drive best-in-class appliances into emerging off-grid markets. The program also features a variety of other market development activities, such as policy technical assistance and market research, and a robust monitoring and evaluation framework. The program launched in 2016 in Bangladesh, and it is expanding to East Africa in Autumn 2017.
The Associates will work as part of a dynamic international team to contribute to the success of LEIA and related initiatives. They will work collaboratively with CLASP team members in the United States, Bangladesh, East Africa, India, and Europe, as well as a wide network of international partners and program stakeholders. They will create, measure, and report LEIA/E4A programmatic impacts, and will be responsible for a wide and diverse range of activities related to the development and execution of programmatic, organizational, and energy access goals.

Clean Water Action is a national, grassroots environmental organization that works to protect the environment and safeguard public health, promote passage of strong environmental laws, and help communities address local environmental problems affecting them. Clean Water Fund is a national research and education organization which promotes justice and the public interest on issues related to water, waste, clean energy and toxics. Top issue priorities include: preventing harm to our health from toxic chemicals, promoting energy efficiency and clean energy, advocating for Zero Waste policies, and holding our policymakers accountable. Ensuring that those most affected by environmental degradation have a voice at the table, and that solutions to environmental problems contribute to broader goals of justice for all, are central goals in all campaigns.
Energy is essential to our daily lives and has a dramatic impact on our swiftly changing climate, but most people don’t know where their energy comes from or that energy policy is largely determined at a state level. Educating members of the public on our outdated, centralized, polluting energy system and engaging residents in transforming the grid into a more green, distributed, and equitable network of power is vital to our future. The Clean Energy Advocate will press for statewide reforms by working in broad coalition and organizing Clean Water members to fight for clean energy and climate justice in Massachusetts.
Responsibilities include :
Co-coordination of the statewide Mass Power Forward coalition;
Growing Clean Water’s campaigns by enlisting members and partners to engage;
Work with community leaders to develop grassroots power in support of clean energy;
Help to design and execute campaign plans to promote access to clean energy, environmental justice and the growing opposition to fossil fuel expansion;
Build and maintain meaningful ties with environmental justice organizations such as members of the Green Justice Coalition, and deliver policy victories that benefit low-income communities and communities of color;
Assist in fundraising through grant writing for clean energy campaign and for biannual events and end of year donor drive
Skills required for this position include :
Demonstrated commitment to Clean Water’s mission and values;
Strong interpersonal skills;
Adaptability and ability to learn on the job
Training and/or demonstrated experience in facilitation of discussions
Ability to work with the media and tell the campaign “story”
Cultural competency in interacting with people from a variety of economic, racial, cultural and ethnic backgrounds;
Well organized and able to manage multiple projects at one time;
Strong oral and written communication skills;
Solid computer skills (familiar with Word, Excel, social media, etc.);
Ability to work both independently and in a team.
Qualifications :
A minimum of two years experience with issue campaigns is a must. Background in energy and climate issues is helpful. Familiarity with campaign organizing in Massachusetts, organizing in a variety of racial and socio-economic communities, and/or communications is highly desired.
How to Apply :
Send resume and cover letter to Elizabeth Saunders, esaunders@cleanwater.org . Internal candidates should first contact their supervisor.
Salary: $37,000 - $42,000
Application Deadline: Tuesday, May 1 , 2018
