Low Carbon Officer

The Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is implementing the GEF funded project that requires the services of A Low Carbon Officer. The Project is entitled "Low Carbon Development Path (LCDP): Promoting energy efficient applications and solar photovoltaic technologies in streets, outdoor areas and public buildings in island communities nationwide".
