SI was founded upon the growing global desire-and pressure-to make international development more effective in improving people's lives. The world's most pressing challenges-widespread poverty, HIV/AIDS, environmental degradation, civil war and conflict-call for new ways to manage societies and social and economic change. Foreign aid is increasingly a cat...
Project Objective:
Liberians have poor access to clean water and sanitation services compared to other countries in the region, which contributes to poor health outcomes especially for children. This is due to weak sector governance, government institution capacity to manage, and funding constraints that hinder access to improved WASH services. Data from UNICEF and WHO Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP 2020) indicates that, about 75.26% of Liberians have access to a basic level of drinking water, where 85.53% of the residents are in urban areas and 64.10% of residents in rural areas. Sanitation and hygiene also remain inadequate due to a lack of latrines and management systems. Open defecation is the primary method of human waste disposal in rural areas as well as for many urban residents. According to data (JMP 2020) about 18.16% of Liberians had access to basic sanitation services where 29.02% of the residents are in urban areas and just 6.36% of residents in rural areas.
Liberia not only lacks water and sanitation infrastructure, but also needs improved sector governance, more capacity and financial models to design, build, operate and maintain the medium to large scale WASH infrastructure (e.g. water supply systems, institutional toilets). There is limited capacity of the government, communities, and private sector to properly manage and maintain water and sanitation infrastructure in both rural and urban areas of the country. At the national level, this problem is exacerbated by the lack of coordination among WASH-related ministries and entities, compounded by the shortage of sufficiently skilled personnel in government and civil society related to water and sanitation. However, the gaps in data availability and quality across the country calls into question the current state of human resources for WASH in Liberia. To address the human resources needs related to WASH in Liberia, USAID/Liberia intends to carry out a human resource gap analysis related to WASH operations, maintenance, management and training, and assess current and future HR needs related to WASH in all 15 counties of Liberia.
USAID/Liberia has engaged DELTA to conduct this gap analysis and assessment. This assessment will provide USAID/Liberia with robust information about the workforce needs related to water supply and sanitation (WASH operations, maintenance, management and training) and associated gaps as well as:
