Consultancy Description
The consultant/agency will work closely with the WASH Consultant and their Team under the direct supervision of the Programme M&E Officer. The consultant/agency will be responsible for training Community-Based Volunteers (CBVs) of the below indicated categories in WASH. .
The Training
Access to safe, reliable water is a right. Water is life, sanitation is way of life, and hygiene is best for life. So, WASH is the collective term for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. Due to their interdependent nature, these three core issues are grouped together. While each a separate field of work, each is dependent on the presence of the other. For example, without toilets, water sources become contaminated; without clean water, basic hygiene practices are not possible. Access to safe drinking water supply and sanitation services is fundamental to improving public Health. Lack of access to these essential basic services contributes substantially to the high burden of disease.
