Company Profile Catholic Relief Services is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States. CRS works to save, protect, and transform lives in need in more than 100 countries, without regard to race, religion or nationality. CRS’ relief and development work is accomplished through programs of emergency response, HIV, health, agriculture, education, microfinance and peacebuilding. CRS Ghana was established in 1958, a year after Ghana gained independence. In Ghana, CRS works with local partners to tackle poverty on several fronts including improving health and nutrition; increasing access to safe water and improved sanitation; promoting agriculture to enhance food security; and increasing financial assets through Savings and Internal Lending Communities. Job Description
Background Globally, northern Ghana remains one of the most challenging environments for adequate sanitation, hygiene, and nutrition. UNICEF (2017) reports that an estimated 4,000 Ghanaian children die each year from diarrhoea, with malnutrition contributing to one-third of the country’s childhood deaths and over two in five children in northern Ghana suffer from stunting. Child survival, health and wellbeing are closely linked to sanitation and hygiene. Northern Ghana still has major issues with open defecation – in 2015, UNICEF reported that 89% of the population in the Upper East Region and 72% of the population in the Northern Region practice open defecation. In response, CRS with funding from the Helmsley Charitable Trust (HCT) and through ICOWASH 1.0 project (October 2017 to September 2020), implemented Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), Sanitation Marketing and behavior change activities in 196 communities (135 in Talensi and 64 in West Mamprusi Districts). By the end of the project in 2020, a total of 135 communities (90 in Talensi and 45 in West Mamprusi Municipal) were certified as ODF communities by Regional Interagency Coordinating Committee on Sanitation (RICCS) of the Northern and Upper East Regions. In November 2020, CRS got additional financial resources from the HCT to consolidate the gains of ICOWASH 1.0 in the 2 districts, replicate ICOWASH 1.0 activities in another district and then strengthen systems for sustainability through the implementation of ICOWASH 2.0 Project from November 2020 to October 2023. CRS has worked with the Regional Interagency Coordinating Committee on Sanitation (RICCS) of North-East Region to certify 9 more communities in addition to the 135 ODF communities, bringing the total to 144, rolled out SanMark activities, organized field trips and learning events for partners as well as engaged in national discourse to shape policy and influence practice across community, school, and healthcare facility level WASH. As the project is now mid-way through implementation, there is the need to accelerate sanitation improvements (ODF attainment) in several OD communities and sustain gains of ODF communities, which requires external support. As a result, CRS is seeking to engage the services of consulting firms/LNGO/CBO with requisite technical capacity to support the implementation of CLTS in 120 sections in 39 communities across the 3 districts.
