IRC WASH (www.ircwash.org) 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.
Strengthening monitoring by government at all levels is a critical need. We implement activities to strengthen monitoring with partners including regional governments, UNICEF, mWater, SweetSense and others, with activities currently in Afar, Somali, Oromia, SNNPR and Amhara.
Working within different activities and regions, you will provide support to regional and woreda governments to: develop their monitoring platforms; help build capacities; promote use of data from monitoring platforms; and document and use cases and outcomes. Your work will directly contribute to improved WASH services delivery.
