**About Social Impact**

Social Impact (SI) is a global development management consulting firm. We provide monitoring, evaluation, strategic planning, and capacity-building services to advance development effectiveness. We work across all development sectors including democracy and governance, health and education, the environment, and economic growth. Since 1997 we have worked in over 100 countries for clients such as US government agencies, bilateral donors, multilateral development banks, foundations, and nonprofits.

**Project Objective**

SI is implementing the USAID/Vietnam Learns Contract (USAID Learns). The scope of the five-year project is to support USAID/Vietnam staff and partners to implement more efficient, effective, and transparent programs by improving: (1) USAID and Implementing Partner (IP) capacity to achieve expected results; (2) USAID’s understanding and tracking of project performance; and (3) collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA).

**Background**

Energy is among the challenges of low-and-middle income countries’ sustainable development. In Vietnam, energy demand is increasing while the capacity to develop additional energy sources such as hydropower and thermal power (coal, gas) is limited. Vietnam must address two issues at the same time, namely ensuring energy security to meet the needs of daily life, production, and economic development; and protecting the environment and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Over the last 10 years in Vietnam, government, business and individuals have been paying much more attention to green growth and sustainable growth. The issues of energy security, clean energy, and energy efficiency have increased significantly in the number of articles and bulletins in the mass media, including social networks.

Over the past decade, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has significantly provided support to the Government of Vietnam (GVN) in designing and implementing a strategic plan to guide Vietnam on energy generation and transmission to meet energy needs as the country moves away from a coal-based power system to a greener, cleaner system based on renewable energy and natural gas. USAID works closely with the GVN, local government, private sector and financial institutions to develop and implement energy policies and plans that support scaling up clean energy and mobilizing much needed investment from the private sector.

**Purpose and Use of the Assessment**

USAID/Vietnam requested USAID Learns to conduct an assessment to explore the possible areas of engagement in the energy sector in Vietnam to support Vietnam in achieving its net-zero emission goal. The assessment also identifies opportunities for advancing cross-cutting priorities, including, but not limited to gender equality, women’s empowerment, and inclusive development.

**Research Questions**

To reach the defined purpose, the assessment should be able to answer the following questions:

- What are the major constraints (and opportunities) related to Vietnam’s clean energy development on which USAID programs could potentially have an impact?
- Clean Energy development challenges and opportunities
- Donor mapping: gaps and opportunities
- JETP alignment: how can USAID programming fill gaps in current/planned JETP TA requirements(Including Just Transition[1])?
- How should USAID/Vietnam engage with key stakeholders (including but not limited to the private sector, provinces and ministries) in its energy programming to support Vietnam's transition into a greener energy system?
- What is the needed technical support for these stakeholders?
- What are the available engagement models for USAID/Vietnam to consider? (taking into account project approval, relevant contractual options for USAID/Vietnam procurement, power dynamic among ministries, and between the national and provincial level)
- In what areas can USAID programming play a catalytic role in advancing energy sector priorities in coordination with other stakeholder groups?
- What are opportunities related to advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment in the energy sector that are meaningful for USAID/Vietnam to support?

**Position Description**

USAID Learns seeks a Research Coordinator to help conduct this assignment. The Research Coordinator will work closely with the Team Leader, an Energy Governance Expert, and a Gender Expert to conduct the assessment. USAID Learns will provide additional support in terms of project management, quality assurance, event facilitation, and interpretation/translation if necessary.

**Methodology**

The research questions are expected to be answered first through a desk study of available literature and secondary data. Research questions should be partly addressed in detail by extracting, analyzing, and synthesizing existing data and information from available
