UNICEF recrute un conseil international en TIC, projet éco-efficacité, Bamako, Mali

Background :

As part of eco-efficiency project UNICEF Mali is implementing the following :

• A 160KWp solar system to support the entire UNICFE Bamako Office ;
• A 5 KVA, solar hybrid solution for staff residence and warehouse ;
• 10 KVA for the BCP sites ;
• Support in installation of multi-function printer to replace printers, scanners and photocopiers in Bamako.

Objectives :

The power situation in Mali is very poor. In addition to frequent power cut, the quality of power is bad due to which the UPS trips frequently. Frequent use of generator creates high carbon emission and disturbing noise. Under the eco-efficiency and greening, following projects are identified to address some of the power issues :

• UNICEF Bamako is in the process of installing a 160 KWp of Solar system. This would support the complete power needs of the office, with EDM as the secondary and Generator as the 3^rd backup power. The project is already designed and is awaiting the shipment of the hardware. The preparedness of the site to install the 500 plus Solar Panels is currently on ongoing ;
• RSM Solar for residential is a project under OneUN, with a drive to replace 5 KVA generator with solar power to cut down the carbon footprint emitted from the generator. During peak power cuts, the generator runs for more than 15 hours, thus causing disturbance due to sound in addition to the carbon emission. The project is already under way and pilot phase is completed. Currently in phase 2, 6 sites are identified to be installed ;
• Project RSM Solar for the BCP site, is under proposal. Given the poor power conditions of electricity in Mali, to strengthen the BCP, there is need to install 9 KWp solar power at all BCP sites which includes 3 sites in Bamako, 5 Zone offices. and Warehouse in Bamako ;
• Assessment of power requirement and installation of solar power to support Badala were the relay antenna is placed in Bamako ;
• Power requirement assessment and installation of solar power to support the ICT data centre in all 5 zone offices ;
• As part of Eco-Efficiency projects, current printers, scanners, photocopiers are to be replaced with eco efficient multi-function printers.
