JUST TRANSITION FINANCE MECHANISM (JTFM) MANDATE
The Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), in partnership with the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC), has established the Just Transition Finance Mechanism (JTFM) to mobilise and channel finance towards inclusive, locally owned and scalable just transition initiatives across South Africa. The JTFM is intended to address financing barriers that limit the implementation of just transition priorities at local, provincial and national levels. Through the mobilisation of public, private and concessional finance, the mechanism seeks to support projects that create sustainable livelihoods, strengthen community resilience, promote social ownership and participation, and advance South Africa's transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. Supported through funding from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the programme is being implemented jointly by DBSA and the PCC. The initiative focuses on strengthening stakeholder participation, supporting local and provincial just transition planning, developing a pipeline of investable projects, mobilising transition finance, and establishing a sustainable institutional platform for long-term implementation.
The Project Officer is responsible for providing cross-cutting programme coordination support to the JTFM team, ensuring effective implementation of project outputs, alignment, communication, and delivery across DBSA, PCC, service providers, and key stakeholders. The focus is on implementation coordination, milestone tracking, and delivery support, ensuring that outputs are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with programme objectives.
