WASH Advisor, Improved Nutrition Activity
Tracking Code 8981
Job Description:
NOTE: This position is contingent upon donor funding.
PATH is an international organization that drives transformative innovation to save lives and improve health, especially among women and children. We accelerate innovation across five platforms—vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, devices, and system and service innovations—that harness our entrepreneurial insight, scientific and public health expertise, and passion for health equity. By mobilizing partners around the world, we take innovation to scale, working alongside countries primarily in Africa and Asia to tackle their greatest health needs. Together, we deliver measurable resultsthat disrupt the cycle of poor health.
PATH is seeking a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Expert for an anticipated USAID-funded Improved Nutrition Activity in Tanzania. The goal of the four-year activity is to improve the nutritional status of women of reproductive age, especially pregnant and lactating women, adolescents, and children under five.

The WASH Expert will work closely and collaboratively with the Chief of Party (and other senior technical leads) and will be primarily responsible for ensuring that strategies increase adoption of household hygiene practices, improve access to safe drinking water, facilitate access to safe sanitation in communities and schools, and reduce exposure to causes of disease and environmental enteropathy.

Specific responsibilities include:
  • Ensure the smooth, efficient and effective start-up and implementation of the WASH marketing and hygiene behavior change components of the project.
  • Coordinate with all project staff on the design, implementation, and monitoring of the WASH component of an integrated platform that synergistically and holistically addresses nutrition-sensitive needs at the household level.
  • Provide technical leadership to achieve all technical WASH outputs.
  • Implement systematic and rigorous behavior change approach that identifies the key incentives, motivators, barriers, around desired WASH behaviors and design appropriate and targeted behavior change communication interventions that incorporate them.
  • Seek to continuously improve programs, initiate new project implementation strategies as needed, and plan for expansion of project impact, as appropriate.
  • Hire, train, supervise and evaluate key staff for the WASH component – and oversee this process for less senior staff – and ensure that personnel policies are followed.
  • Oversee WASH activities carried out by implementation partners.
