UNICEF is the world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.
UNICEF KCO is looking for 3 individual national consultants with a track record of substantial sanitation expertise that includes CLTS who will support the implementation of the S-UHC Project. Consultants will each be assigned responsibility for project activities in two counties; therefore, the consultants will be expected to be based in one of the two assigned counties, dividing their time equally between the two counties to support implementation of CLTS activities. The county pairs are Kilifi and Kwale; Marsabit and Samburu; West Pokot and Baringo. The consultants will be provided with regular technical supervision by senior UNICEF WASH staff based in the Nairobi Country Office, and the Lodwar and Garissa Zonal Offices. Furthermore, the consultants will be facilitated with logistics and IT support, as well as basic office equipment. It is expected that the consultants will spend the majority of their time supporting County Governments to plan, implement, monitor and follow-up the implementation of the CLTS interventions.
