Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Manager - Data and Insights

SELCO Foundation is a not-for-profit, public charitable trust. It was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. It aims to create a platform of solutions that uses sustainable energy as a catalyst to link environmental sustainability and poverty alleviation. With holistic development as the primary focus, the organization strives to create equitable societies, where services are accessed by all communities. The interventions of the SELCO Foundation led to a sustainable delivery model of essential services like livelihoods, education, and health till the last mile.

Energy for Health aims to strengthen delivery of healthcare for over 170 million people by reliably and sustainably powering 25,000 public health facilities in remote, rural, climate and socio-economically vulnerable regions across 11 states in India by 2026.

Healthcare today, without considering the potential services to the un-catered populations in the world, is the 5th most polluting industry. E4H has the potential to improve the quality of health services in a decentralized manner, while also making it a less carbon intensive sector. This program can prove to be the low hanging fruit for achieving SDG13 and SDG3 via SDG7. We believe that provision of 100% renewable energy and green building infrastructure for healthcare facilities, will democratize the much-needed health services in the remote regions within India
