Job Description
INTRODUCTION
Catholic Relief Service (CRS) is a faith-based international development organization. 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 and hygiene practices; promoting agriculture to enhance food security; and increasing financial assets through Savings and Internal Lending Communities. Currently, CRS is implementing several projects including the Rural Emergency and Transport Services (REST 4D) Project, Developing Acute Care and Emergency Referral Systems (ACERS), Action for the Protection and Integration of Migrants in Africa (APIMA) Project under Youth Livelihood Program, and Ghana Extension Systems Strengthening Project (GESSiP).
CRS with funding from the Water Access Now (WAN) is implementing the Improving Water Access in Northern Ghana (IWANG) project. The IWANG project seeks to improve coverage of water access to schools, health facilities and communities across targeted districts in Northern Ghana. Therefore, CRS Ghana seeks to engage the services of a contractor to undertake to construct a solar powered limited mechanized water system (equipped with smart TAPS) and train caretakers for the operation and management of the facility.
BACKGROUND
Since 2007, Water Access Now (WAN) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS), in collaboration with the local government authorities, have supported over 250 health facilities, schools and communities to gain access to safe drinking water in the Northern, Upper East, Upper West and Oti Regions of Ghana. To date, WAN has provided funding to support the provision of safe water supply through the construction and rehabilitation of boreholes, including limited mechanized boreholes, and rainwater harvesting systems for deprived communities.
More funds have again been made available by WAN in 2024 for the construction of an estimated 15 new boreholes and 1 limited mechanized water system (LMS) for some deprived schools, health facilities and communities at Zabzugu, Kpandai, Tano North and Bunkpurugu Nakpanduri, and Yunyoo Nasuan Districts. The interventions will contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of about 10,000 rural children and adults in communities, schools, and health facilities in the project areas and contribute to the accelerated achievement of the SDG 6, by 2030. The provision of safe water hinges strongly on protection of the water from source to the point of use for improved WASH behaviors in homes, schools, and healthcare facilities. As a result, the project seeks to conduct hands-on trainings to Water and Sanitation Management Teams (WSMTs) to ensure effective management and sustainability of the community water systems and water points. CRS Ghana is thus pleased to issue these terms of reference to engage competent contractors for the construction of 1 No. solar powered limited mechanized water system (equipped with a smart TAP) in the Zabzugu District of the Northern region.
