SNV World Job Vacancy: WASH in Health Care Facilities, Jakarta - Indonesian

SNV is looking for: Consultancy for the development of a strategy for improved WASH conditions in Health Care Facilities

SNV NETHERLANDS DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATION

SNV is an international not-for-profit development organisation that focuses on increasing people incomes and access to basic services in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Agriculture, and Renewable Energy. By connecting our global expertise with longstanding in-country presence, we help realise locally-owned solutions in more than 25 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Established in 1965 in the Netherlands, our projects directly benefit millions of people (4.4M in 2018). SNV specializes in supporting the resourcefulness of development actors by developing local capacities, improving performance and services, strengthening governance systems, helping to create access for excluded groups and by making markets work for the poor.

THE WASH SDGS FOR SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE CITIES PROGRAMME

SNV understands safe sanitation and hygiene services as a pre-condition for health and economic development in cities. With Indonesia urbanization rate at 2.3% (World Bank, 2018), a failure to invest in urban sanitation will become a barrier for almost any development in the country. Access to sanitation is a human right and governments are the duty bearers of progressive realisation of this right. With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 6 and the 2020-2024 RPJMN, Indonesia is committed to work towards universal access to safely managed sanitation services, this means services for all and addressing the safety of the entire sanitation chain from access to safe disposal or re-use.

Through the Dutch Government funded WASH SDGs programme, SNV supports local governments of Bandar Lampung & Metro Cities in Lampung Province and Tasikmalaya City in West Java Province in achieving sustainable and inclusive city-wide sanitation services, in line with national programmes and targets. Together, we change the way human waste is managed by addressing different needs among the population, different parts of the sanitation service chain, and different geographical areas with appropriate service delivery models.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

Through this consultancy, SNV WASH SDGs programme aims to assist the governments of Bandar Lampung, Metro and Tasikmalaya to improve WASH conditions in Health Care facilities, with the findings also aiming to support evidence based advocacy efforts at the national level.
