WaterAid

It is hard to believe that today 844 million people do not have clean water and 2.3 billion do not have a decent toilet – around one in three of the world’s population. Every two minutes, a child under five dies from diarrheal diseases caused by unclean water and poor sanitation. We started because no NGO like us existed. We will end when no organisation like us is needed.

We are making great progress – since 1981, we have reached 25 million people with clean water and, since 2004, 24 million people with sanitation. WaterAid has operated in Tanzania since 1983 and has been engaged in the WASH sector for 40 years with a vision of everyone everywhere has access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. During the last 40 years WaterAid Tanzania has grown to become a nationally recognized leader in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector, working closely with the government and partners, and is respected for innovation on best models with lasting change in the WASH sector.

Alongside our footprints, WaterAid Tanzania country programme strategy 2023 – 2028 aligned to WaterAid’s ambitious global strategy (2022 – 2032) makes a bold commitment to “ending the water, sanitation, and hygiene crises together – for everyone, everywhere”. WaterAid Tanzania strategy focus on 2 Aims: Achieve universal, sustainable, and safe WASH services in focused geographic areas to influence wider change; and Prioritize WASH across the health sector to improve public health. Our innovative approaches to deliver our AIMS are: System strengthening, influencing, innovative modelling, research & learning, partnership and alliances, gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), empower and support, sustainable WASH services and behaviour change. WaterAid Tanzania is aspiring for country where no woman/girl will walk long distance and queue for hours to collect water. Where no community is held back by cycle of sickness from broken and dirty water supplies and poor hygiene and sanitation.

WaterAid Tanzania seeks to recruit dynamic candidate to fill the Research and Knowledge Management Coordinator Position that plays a vital role in our mission to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere by 2030.
