CONSULTANT FOR CONDUCTING BASELINE SSESSMENT ON AIM 1 WASH SYSTEM BUILDING BLOCK HANANG DISTRICT – MANYARA REGION – TANZANIA
Background
WaterAid Tanzania (WAT) launched its five-year strategy in 2023 focusing on two aims; 1: To attain sustainable, inclusive, and safe WASH services in targeted geographic areas for wider change and 2. To prioritize WASH across the health sector to improve public health. As it implements its 1st aim over the next five years, WAT’s will focus on modeling sustainable WASH services in Hanang DC. Further, WAT will worki in collaboration with a range of actors to strengthen WASH systems at national and sub-national levels in the target district. This is because WAT’s strategy is based on the understanding that by strengthening WASH systems at national and sub-national levels, there will be progressive and sustainable improvement in WASH service levels in the focus geographic areas.
WaterAid intends to engage an experienced and capable consultant to support in conducting baseline assessment of WASH System Building Blocks in Hanang’ district Manyara region. The baseline assessment intends to measure the strength of the WASH system in Hanang district at the start of the Aim 1 programme. This is the level at which government has the mandate and responsibility for delivery and oversight of universal, safe and sustainable WASH at the local level. The assessment, while focused on WASH system in this district, will also incorporate critical barriers to sustainable, safe WASH that lies beyond the district e.g. at the national level. The assessment should put government in the lead to ensure government own and use the results to inform their decision-making and track improvements in sector performance. It is important to note that results of the WASH system building block baseline assessment will not be used to benchmark WaterAid’s performance in Aim 1 but an indication of how WASH system as a whole (which is influenced by all the actors and factors that operate and exist within the WASH system at national and sub-national levels) is becoming stronger over time.
