JOB DESCRIPTION

Pact Overview

At the heart of Pact is the promise of a better tomorrow. The promise of a healthy life. Of a decent livelihood. Of sustainable natural resources that benefit communities. Now more than ever in its 42-year history, Pact is helping millions of people who are poor and marginalized discover and build their own solutions and take ownership over their future.

Pact enables systemic solutions that allow those who are poor and marginalized to earn a dignified living, be healthy, and take part in the benefits that nature provides. Pact accomplishes this by strengthening local capacity, forging effective governance systems, and transforming markets into a force for development.

Department Overview

Pact seeks an Institutional Development Advisor for the proposed five-year USAID-funded Ethiopia TRANSFORM WASH project which will work with the Government of Ethiopia to increase the use of improved WASH products and services in Ethiopia. Through improved water and sanitation services and improved key hygiene behaviors, the activity seeks to ultimately reduce preventable deaths and illness due to diarrheal disease, particularly among children under 5. This position is contingent on award.

Position Purpose

The Institutional Development Advisor will work under the direction of the COP and will be responsible for managing the project’s governance strengthening activities.

Key Responsibilities

The Advisor will work with the Government of Ethiopia to bring all investment in WASH under one framework, and support its enabling environment with strategies, policies, and guidance documents at the national level, while also working to build the capacity of the sub-national level to operationalize these documents. The Advisor will also strengthen the financial management capacity of Government of Ethiopia entities to efficiently and effectively deliver public health results.
