POSITION: COG (Council of Governors) and Donor Coordination Officer Period of Performance: September 2023-2028 Location: Nairobi Kenya Position Reports to: Learning and Adaptation Advisor This job posting closes on September 18 2023 1. About the Company: DAI works on the frontlines of global development by transforming ideas into action—action into impact. We just celebrated our 50th anniversary as a global development company with corporate offices in the United States the United Kingdom Brussels EU Nigeria Pakistan and Palestine and development projects across 150 countries. We tackle fundamental social and economic development problems caused by inefficient markets ineffective governance and instability. We are committed to shaping a more livable world. DAI is a water security sanitation and hygiene (WSSH) sector leader with a dedicated team in DAI headquarters and current and recent flagship USAID programs in Haiti Indonesia Kenya Lebanon Philippines and Nepal. We have additional and significant WASH activities under our governance programs in Guatemala Iraq and Mozambique among others. We recognize that societies get the greatest health and economic benefits from water and sanitation when we leverage benefits within and across sectors (and across our projects) and when local stakeholders are at the center of the decision-making process and part of a collaborative implementation approach. 2. Project Background The five-year (2023-2028) USAID Sustainable Transformational and Accessible Water Interventions (STAWI) Activity will work alongside county governments across nine counties to advance water security for social economic and environmental needs helping to reverse historic neglect and enabling USAID and the Government of Kenya to achieve their ambitious objectives for inclusive economic growth while building resilience to the region’s unique shocks and stresses. At the end of five years targeted county governments water service providers (WSPs) and water users will have the information incentives and partnerships to identify and address barriers to a water-secure future among the most water-stressed and vulnerable communities in Kenya. The activity is actively working toward four objectives: * Objective 1: Improve governance of water resources and services * Objective 2: Increase sustainability of water service delivery * Objective 3: Improved management efficiency and equitable access to water used for productive purposes * Objective 4: Improved collaboration and learning across stakeholders and strengthened capacity of county governments for learning and adaptation 3. Objectives of the assignment STAWI will be working in a complex environment of humanitarian and development activities with multiple government institutions and donors active in the counties. A central part of STAWI’s Collaboration and Learning objective will be to support Kenya’s Council of Governors (COG) to function as a more effective coordination platform among national institutions for resilience building water resource management rural water regulation and infrastructure management.

The Council works through Sectoral Committees among them the ASAL and DRM Committee and Water and Natural Resources are heavily devolved to County Government. With Kenya’s ambition to achieve food security and bring stability in the ASAL counties this requires a policy and legislative frameworks which gives the County Governments room to excise their Constitutional Mandate as well support close consultation and collaboration between the two levels of government. This will create harmonious working relationship by the two levels of government and well as room for private sector to thrive in the sector. In addition STAWI will support coordination among donor activities to ensure that learning and best practice are shared and that the COG has the information it needs for decision-making. The COG and Donor Coordination Specialist will support the COP and the Learning and Adaptation Advisor to ensure that this coordination is timely efficient and responsive to the needs of the COG and STAWI.

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child care According to the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic 8.9% of the population do not have access to safe sources of drinking water and use water from open water reservoirs that are hazardous to health. The sources of drinking water supply in towns and villages of the Kyrgyz Republic are rivers reservoirs deep artesian wells canals and other facilities. The problem is that only 29.1% of the population of the country are connected to the centralized water disposal systems and facilities according to statistics. In some settlements there are existing wastewater disposal systems but due to exceeding the service life and lack of capital investment they are in a condition that requires rehabilitation or new construction. In rural areas only 3% of residential and public buildings are connected to sewage systems these are schools and medical organizations. Lack of safe drinking water and poor sanitation can lead to serious public health issues and outbreaks of infectious diseases especially among children. The situation with Water Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) in schools is of concern with significant implications particularly for adolescent girls: one in four schools has no access to clean drinking water 74.4 per cent do not have internal toilets and 68.2 per cent are not connected to the hot water supply. In most schools toilets do not meet inclusive and gender responsive criteria. Lack of privacy and safety is a major problem for adolescent girls who avoid using the school toilets whenever possible. Toilets are usually located outside the main building and this creates a major risk of sexual harassment for girls. Handwashing facilities exist but are not located next to the toilets which is making it difficult to ensure safe hygiene practices by children. In 2016 a draft resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic was developed to amend the sanitary and epidemiological rules and regulations Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the conditions and organization of education in general educational institutions- this covers the requirements for the design and equipment of school toilets and hygiene rooms for girls. In this regard UNICEF plans to hire an International WASH consultant who is expected to assist in revision of the National standards on WASH in schools in consideration of gender responsiveness and inclusiveness and propose a model WASH facility in selected schools. Purpose of Activity/Assignment: Provide technical support to the Ministry of Education through making recommendations on the review and update of existing National standards on WASH in Schools and assist in building a model WASH facility.
