PRO-WASH (Practices, Research and Operations in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) is a five-year project led by Save the Children and funded by the USAID Office of Food for Peace (FFP). PRO-WASH actively works with partners to strengthen the quality, effectiveness and sustainability of WASH practices in FFP-funded development and emergency food security activities. This includes delivering several core activities aimed at strengthening partner capacities including: capacity-strengthening workshops (both in-person and remote), applied research into field-viable solutions to WASH service delivery, high-quality technical guides, learning notes, and opportunities to share implementation experiences with other USAID/FFP partners.
Contingent on additional award funding, PRO-WASH is expanding learning and applied research around drinking water and productive water supply, water system maintenance, and rural water governance in alignment with USAID’s Global Water Strategy and USAID Water and Development Plans. The expanded programming will capture innovative approaches around integrated water resource management (IWRM) which will allow PRO-WASH to better support development and emergency partners often working in settings affected by droughts and other water-related shocks.
What You’ll Be Doing (Essential Duties)
The Senior Specialist for WASH Governance and Infrastructure has a broad range of experience working across relevant water approaches including IWRM, water governance, water service provisioning, watershed management, and infrastructure.

As the Senior Specialist, you will also support WASH-related research and learning activities and will coordinate closely with FFP, implementing partners, and research institutions.
