About Job

• The purpose of the Western Kenya Water Program (WKWP) is to increase the availability of, and access to, water services in Western Kenya, while enabling better management of water resources. The GOK’s goals for devolution and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals will drive our implementation of the Program, and we will thus focus on enabling county-wide approaches, supported by accessible models, tools, and data necessary for water security. We will employ an efficient and collaborative approach that makes best use of the natural, human, and financial resources available in Kenya across the public and private sectors.

From the Program Description in the Request for Application (RFA), we have identified the following three goals for the Western Kenya Water Program:

• To increase the ability of selected county governments and service providers to deliver good quality, reliable, and safe water services to urban, peri-urban, and rural populatio
• To strengthen the systems within which providers operate—including governance, financing, and WRM—building a foundation for continued, sustained improvements in country water services.
• To support sector inclusivity, by helping to create channels for increased participated and meaningful engagement of the private sector, women and youth.
