Company Profile Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) is a not-for-profit company that helps transform cities to benefit the millions who lack access to water and sanitation. We began our work in 2005 as a response to the unprecedented urban explosion that has left cities unable to provide basic services, such as access to clean drinking water or a toilet, to low-income communities. We work in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, supported by an office in the UK. Since our inception, we have helped over 42 million people access improved water, sanitation and hygiene services.
In Ghana, with a strong presence in Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi, and Tamale, WSUP Ghana has been working tirelessly since 2010 to transform the lives of millions of people. Our impact is evident in the numbers: over 14 million urban residents have benefited from our services since 2005, with 430,066 people gaining access to improved water supply and 1.1 million people enjoying improved sanitation. Furthermore, we have reached 12.5 million people through comprehensive hygiene education programs, empowering communities to take charge of their health and well-being.

Job Description TERMS OF REFERENCE, PRINTING OF COMPOUND SANITATION REPORTING TOOLS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE CERTIFICATION STICKERS Introduction
WSUP is a tri-sector partnership between the private sector, civil society and academia, focused on addressing the increasing global problem of inadequate access to water and sanitation for the urban poor. WSUP believes that access to safe and affordable water, improved sanitation and improved hygiene practices underpin poverty reduction through impacts on health, education and livelihoods. This is supported by the belief that sustainable and viable improvements can only be made by strengthening the technical capacity and financial viability of local service providers.
WSUP has a strategic portfolio of six countries in Africa and South Asia where it works in close partnership with local service providers and national government. WSUP’s approach in each city begins with the identification of approaches to improve the direct delivery of service improvements at a representative scale, in order to A) enable the practical application of capacity development of the local service provider, and B) remove a key barrier to a better functioning market for pro-poor service delivery by using grant funding to overcome risk aversion to failure. Through the delivery of financially viable and effective service provision at a representative scale in each city, and by strengthening the capacity of local partners to provide pro-poor services under viable business models, WSUP aims to trigger investments for the scale-up of service delivery at the city and ultimately the national level. WSUP is committed to sharing the learning from its work with the wider sector to inspire replication and ensure maximum global impact. For a summary version of WSUP’s Theory of Change 2012-2015, see Figure 1.

![]() WSUP has been established as a not-for-profit company for over 10 years and in that time has grown its programme of work from zero during that period. Over that period, the company has also progressed from having no position of influence within the international WASH development community to being well recognised widely by organisations such as the World Bank, UNICEF, Stone Family Foundation and others as providing a unique and successful approach to help overcome the challenges faced in providing sustainable WASH services to low income communities in urban areas.
Building on the back of the above recognition, WSUP has established WSUP Advisory CIC, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated as a Community Interest Company (CIC), to operate as a consultancy to extend WSUPs reach into countries outside of our 6 core countries. Profits generated will be returned into the not-for-profit entity as a source of unrestricted funding. WSUP Advisory has already secured very significant contracts in India, Ethiopia, Pakistan and elsewhere funded by USAID, UNICEF and others.
