Chemonics seeks a chief of party for the upcoming USAID/Zambia expanding water and sanitation project. This $17.5 - $19.6 million project will focus on expanding water and sanitation in Zambia, increasing sustainable WASH service delivery in the Muchinga, Northern, Western and Southern Provinces. The purpose of this activity is to professionalize WASH services, to promote accountability for reliable and high‐quality WASH services, and to enhance the enabling environment for service delivery. All activities are predicated on enhanced sector governance, for this reason, the USAID Expanding Water and Sanitation Project will work with the GRZ entities at the national, provincial, and local levels to ensure that the systems, policies, and processes are in place, implemented and enforced to ensure Zambians receive access to high‐quality WASH services. The project will also work with the private sector to leverage reach, innovation, and long‐term commercial interests to provide lasting services. By doing so, USAID will greatly contribute to building the capacity of Zambian WASH service providers.
The chief of party will be responsible for providing overall strategic vision, direction, leadership, and management of the project. This position will be based in Zambia. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.
Please note that position is subject to project award and client approval.
