• Provide factual and analytical background reports, collect data, and prepare/review reports related to the regulation of WASH service delivery.
• Monitor, evaluate, and analyze implementation of local service delivery programs related to WASH service delivery policy areas.
• Serve as an expert resource and/or technical advisor on a range of WASH policy issues including the integration of the private sector.
• Develop and promote strategies to engage national government, local government (provincial, district, and traditional), and private sector stakeholders to support sustainable WASH service delivery and performance ratings and methods to incentivize performance through project activities.


Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree (master’s degree preferred) in public administration, political science, economics, water and sanitation, or a related field.
• Minimum seven (7) years of experience in water policy development and regulation in Sub-Saharan Africa, preferably Zambia.
• Demonstrated experience in providing technical assistance, policy guidance, capacity building, mentorship, and training in policy enforcement, effective service delivery, and/or PPP development, both at the national and sub-national levels.
• Deep contextual understanding of national and municipal governance in Zambia.
• Established professional relationships with government officials working in the WASH sector preferred.
