The ISMR Training and Sensitization and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Officer will be hired on a full-time basis for the duration of the pilot project and be responsible for designing, creating materials, organizing, and implementing the training and sensitization workshops with a total of 900 miners and mining communities, as well as support with data collection, analysis, monitoring and evaluation, and reporting throughout the program pilot.

The training course content will include sensitization and marketing of lighting products alongside agents of the lighting and energy service providers. Specifically, the workshops will include information on lighting, energy, environment and gender to raise awareness, accessibility and highlight the benefits of rechargeable lighting.
