Edward Bourque

Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) consultant with field experience in Ghana, Indonesia, Tanzania, and Madagascar. I speak French and Swahili. Whether it’s a water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), public health, or multi-sector themed proposal, I could help you develop a winning bid. With a solid background in urban and rural WASH, urban planning, climate change, and public health, I certainly understand technical challenges. PROPOSAL WRITING I’ve supported numerous winning bids, including the Rockefeller Foundation 100 Resilient Cities program, the Water & Development IDIQ (WADI) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract, the Armenia Clean Energy and Water Project, the USTDA Vietnam Water and Wastewater Reverse Trade Mission project, and the USAID BRIGHT 2 (Burkinabé Response to Improve Girls’ Chances to Succeed) project. FIELD RESEARCH I’ve designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated overseas WASH field research in Tanzania, performed water and sanitation sector research at the World Bank and UNICEF. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS I have provided technical and communications support to the USAID and UNICEF. I have also helped produce numerous articles and case studies on water sector projects. I am interested in increasing water and sanitation sector project success through improved service delivery governance, public-private partnerships (PPPs), WASH finance, cost-recovery, small business development, micro-credit, household-level livelihood development, water user committee capacity building, increased monitoring efforts, and behavior change. If you have any technical support, proposal writing, knowledge management, communications, or field research needs, feel free to reach out to me.
