Robert Njoroge

Position: Technical Advisor
Location: Kenya, Nairobi

I am a Technical Advisor at GIZ, working in the Sustainable Mobility unit under the Energy, Transport, and Climate Change Cluster in Nairobi, Kenya. I currently contribute to two key projects: ‘Promoting Electric Mobility in Kenya’ and ‘IMPROVE’ (Introducing Measures, Pathways, and Roadmaps for Optimizing Vehicle Efficiency & Electrification).

I have 10 years of experience in national, regional, and international standardization for renewable energy and electric mobility. I previously served as a Senior Officer at the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), where I notably spearheaded the establishment of the Kenya Electric Mobility Technical Committee for standardization. I am also a member of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Systems Committee on Sustainable Electrified Transportation (SyC SET) and the Global Thematic Working Group on Electric 2 & 3 Wheelers by UNEP.

I hold an MSc in Energy Engineering from the University of Hull, UK, and a BSc in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from the University of Nairobi, Kenya. Additionally, I am a Certified Expert in Climate and Renewable Energy Finance from the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management.

I am passionate about sustainable transportation and renewable energy, driven by a commitment to reducing the environmental impact of the transport sector. I believe that integrating cleaner, energy-efficient technologies, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems, will transform mobility and enhance energy independence, particularly for countries like Kenya. My work focuses on promoting environmentally responsible and accessible solutions for developing economies.
