Purpose of Activity/Assignment:
The UNICEF market-based sanitation program will be rapidly reviewed through this consultancy. This includes programmes in Bauchi, Benue, Enugu, Jigawa, Katsina, Kano, Yobe, Zamfara, Kaduna, Adamawa, Oyo, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto states and the FCT. Through a thorough collection of qualitative and quantitative data, this review will provide an update on the progress and results of MBS in the country – both those directly supported by UNICEF and indirectly supported. Some of the key questions to be answered include insights into the key strategies and business models used by profitable TBOs, MFIs and Adashes, factors for success, and key challenges to the viability and sustainability of the businesses and MFIs. Recommendations for strengthening and scaling up the MBS and sanitation financing programs will also be provided, and training/orientation tools will be updated or developed where appropriate. Based on this consultancy, UNICEF aims to improve the implementation of the MBS program and strengthen the monitoring of these approaches, with a view to strengthen the whole market system and catalyze change that will produce benefits beyond UNICEF’s directly supported programs.
Key responsibilities:
The National Consultant will review the existing strategies for market-based sanitation and sanitation financing approaches and provide recommendations for improvement. They will also support the development or update of key tools that will be used to guide the program implementation moving forward. The National Consultant is expected to closely collaborate with State Ministries of Water Resources, Ministries of Environment, WASH institutional mechanisms, line ministries, departments and agencies, sanitation businesses, Adashes and MFIs, and other relevant stakeholders involved in MBS and sanitation finance program. They will report to the UNICEF WASH Manager.
