Details

UNICEF (United Nations Internation Children’s Emergency Fund) is looking for dynamic WASH consultants to serve in the remote and socially underprivileged parts of India. This might be an ideal opportunity for experienced candidates looking for jobs in UNICEF.

Safe WASH services in Communities and in institutions including Schools, Anganwadis and Health centres not only prevent Waterborne diseases and infections for all including infants and children and helps children survive and thrive, but supports them to reach their full growth and development potential, which has an impact on learning and educational outcomes; and hence improving India’s macroeconomic growth. As a technical partner, UNICEF supports both national and state Governments’ efforts to provide adequate and safe WASH services, resulting in the reduction of disease and infection, reducing diarrhea, enteric enteropathy and resulting child stunting and wasting including among the most vulnerable populations, through improving universalizing access to and use of adequate and quality WASH services including sanitation and hygiene facilities for adolescent girls at all relevant places including schools.

The roster of WASH Consultants, once in place, will allow WASH Network colleagues from ICO and states to select three or more potential pre-shortlisted candidates from the roster, for further appraisal and selection of the final candidate, rather than going through a full formal advertisement process for each consultancy assignment. Ideally, this will expedite the placement of consultants (both short term and long term) and provide the supervisor the opportunity to choose from a large pool of potential candidates with appropriate WASH background and experienced as required. The database will be managed centrally by Supply & Procurement (S&P) section, New Delhi.
