Are you passionate about the quality and sustainability of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services? IRC WASH seeks a leader for its Ethiopia programme
IRC WASH work to strengthen the ‘systems’ that underpin the successful and sustainable delivery of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services. By ‘systems’ we mean the policies, institutions, capacities, technologies, and finances that are vital at all levels for WASH facilities to get built, and then be operated and used sustainably. We do this by building partnerships and working with public, private and civil society actors to strengthen different aspects of the system. We call ourselves a ‘think-and-do-tank’. Generating and using new evidence on what works is crucial to our mission, this is based on first-hand experiences in woredas, zones, and regions and at the national level.

You will manage relations with our partners, including government and other key national actors in WASH. You will ensure delivery of a high-quality programme and outputs across a range of projects. You will be responsible for strategy and programme development and the monitoring and reporting of our impacts. As part of an international organisation with its centre of gravity in low and middle income countries, you will be a member of IRCs management team and support development and delivery of its global strategy.
