UNICEF proposes to engage the expertise of a highly qualified hydrogeologist to facilitate the effective implementation of sustainable and innovative WASH solutions. These tasks encompass scoping, mapping and supporting innovative WASH solutions, and technical support to regional and country offices on innovative groundwater resource mapping in water scarce locations, as well as providing hydrogeologic capacity building assistance to Country Offices working on innovation projects.
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child, clean water
The OOI Sustainable WASH Hub (‘the Hub’) has been established by UNICEF with the support of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help bridge the gap to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals for water and sanitation. The Hub is a global home for building, accelerating, and scaling transformational climate resilient solutions for a WASH secure future. It does so by identifying targeted, strategic solutions that have significant potential for impact and capacity to scale.
We’re an interdisciplinary team around the world tasked with identifying and scaling new technologies and practices. With our partners, we focus on convening and collaborating on new and different solutions, low- and high-tech, by Identifying proven solutions that can be implemented at national scale in multiple countries – taking the ideas that help thousands in one country, bringing them to dozens of countries across multiple sectors, and impacting the lives of millions of children.
WASH Portfolio
UNICEF has identified problems that, if solved, will unlock faster progress. Innovation is key to co-creating new solutions to problems like lack of handwashing stations, leaks in water networks, climate-resilient sanitation services, remote monitoring of water or wastewater systems, remote sensing and other technologies for locating water sources in water scarce environments, fecal sludge management in humanitarian settings, absence of adequate sanitation products and accessible menstrual health information for women and girls.
More specifically, the WASH innovation portfolio aims at addressing the following four problems, out of which the groundwater mapping project addresses the second problem:
Hydrogeology inputs are required into solutions for all four problem statements (for example technical input into innovative finance programmes centered around groundwater sourced water supplies). However, most of the technical input is required into the first problem statement, relating to climate resilient groundwater mapping and development.
The portfolio currently contains solutions for groundwater mapping using innovative approaches and for managed aquifer recharge. The Hub is looking over the next 1-2 years to scale both sets of solutions in the current demonstration countries and beyond into new countries and regions. Technical support is required to facilitate the scoping of scaling, development of toolkits and supporting countries to introduce and scale these approaches.
