Call for Consultants for the Landscape Analysis for the Water Sector
- Netherlands
SNV is a not-for-profit international development organisation that applies practical know-how to make a lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty. We use our extensive and long-term in-country presence to apply and adapt our expertise in agriculture, energy and WASH to local contexts. SNV has over 1250 staff in more than 25 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America (www.snv.org). Since its creation in 1965, SNV has been consistently active in WASH; water, hygiene, sanitation, irrigation, governance and IWRM. Over many years our practice evolved from large “integrated rural development projects”, to being part of supporting good governance and decentralisation, and later on, with advisors being embedded in a range of partner organisations: ministries, utilities, national watershed organisations and so on. In 2013, SNV decided to focus on three sectors: Agriculture, WASH and Energy. A shared practice and metrics were developed on key topics within each of the sectors, and across countries throughout the world. This allowed SNV to become more specialised, and responded to the reality of increasing capacity in partner countries and among partner organisations. The increasing criticality of climate change, coupled with SNV’s already substantial work under SDG 6 has resulted in the Managing Board opting to bring all of SNV’s water activities (currently spread across sectors) under one expanded Water sector. This will of course give rise to an updated value proposition in the field. The ambition is to contribute to reducing inequities and structural barriers to water security for people in Central America, Africa, Asia, finding a niche where SNV can complement work by others and which builds on our existing strengths, and aligns with our mission. As part of the re-alignment to an SNV Water sector, an external landscape analysis will be undertaken. The landscape analysis will be one element in the above mentioned process. This document comprises the ToR for landscape analysis exercise. For more information visit our website: www.snv.org
