Company Profile Today, around one billion city-dwellers lack access to safe drinking water, a number the UN estimates will nearly double by 2050 as more and more people are moving to cities for work and other opportunities, most of them ending up living in informal settlements without basic services. Meanwhile the changing climate is making water even more precious. Against this backdrop, our work has never been more vital. WSUP is a not-for-profit company, expert at improving water and sanitation services for low-income, urban communities. We work alongside utilities, entrepreneurs, and communities to develop and deliver solutions which are affordable for the poor, financially viable for suppliers, and sustainable for the environment. We were founded in 2005 in the UK, and currently work in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia (Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Madagascar, Ghana, Zambia, Bangladesh), supported by a global Secretariat. We are a small organisation, but we have a big impact; since inception we have helped over 40 million people with improved water, sanitation, and hygiene services. And we have ambitions to reach many more www.wsup.com WSUP’s innovative approach to creating impact is guided by our values, which are the common fundamental beliefs and principles that guide us.

Job Description Project Officer (3x)
About the role The programme will be implemented in two phases. The first phase of the project will work through the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources (MSWR), Ministry of Health (MoH), the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) and the Information Services Department in the various Metropolis (Project areas) to provide a wider reach for information dissemination on COVID-19 prevention measures. This phase will highlight the importance of personal hygiene, especially handwashing, for prevention of infection. It will also provide on-the-ground reach using information vans, community radio (community level information centres) and community announcers. Key messages will include social distancing, effective handwashing, safe disposal of waste and safe use of public, compound (shared) and household toilets. The second phase will focus on a medium-term approach of engaging national institutions such as the Ghana Water Company Limited, the Community Water and Sanitation Agency and metropolis to drive water and sanitation related hygiene best practices in schools, communities, major market centres and lorry parks/stations in the three Metropolitan Assemblies. Very critical to this campaign will also be the training and capacity building of Environmental Health and Sanitation Officers who will carry on the campaign even after the life span of the project. This is a great opportunity to be part of a dynamic organisation with the scope to make a real difference in the face of a world-changing pandemic. Overall purpose Main responsibilities & tasks
