Job Description
  
Background
 
 
SNV’s WASH initiatives in both a rural and an urban context will provide access to improved drinking water services and/or improved sanitary facilities for 5 million people from 2019 to 2022. Access to water and sanitation is a human right, and we work with local governments to realise that right in their area, aiming at area-wide services. Our work improves environmental health by reducing pathways for disease transmission, and reduces both untreated human waste and wastewater.

Our work improves environmental health by reducing pathways for disease transmission, and reduces both untreated human waste and wastewater.
 
Long-term sustainability lies at the core of our work. We strengthen public governance around WASH services, support institutional changes and capacity, develop financially viable services, and improve asset management of existing WASH infrastructure. This includes strengthening the roles of civil society and the private sector in advocacy and operation, as well as promoting sector and stakeholder dialogue and reflection about changing needs and standards in the light of increasing urbanisation and the Sustainable Development Goals.

This includes strengthening the roles of civil society and the private sector in advocacy and operation, as well as promoting sector and stakeholder dialogue and reflection about changing needs and standards in the light of increasing urbanisation and the Sustainable Development Goals.
In Vietnam, our focus lies on urban services. In support of the National Plastic Action Partnership and the Government’s goal to reduce plastic waste mismanagement by 75% by 2030, SNV now proposes implementing the Clean Cities for a Green Vietnam (CCGV) Project.
+
SNV Nepal was our first office in Asia, commencing in 1980. Since then we have directly impacted the lives of people in some of the poorest districts of the country. Currently we operate in 4 of 7 provinces across Nepal. The primary office is based in Kathmandu, with project offices in provinces. SNV’s WASH sector in Nepal presently has four major projects under implementation, encompassing both rural and urban sanitation, WASH in health care facilities and rural water. Our work is aligned with the development priorities of the government of Nepal and integrates the strengthening of the new federal structure at federal, provincial and local level.
CCGV will pave pathways for eliminating leakage of plastic waste in the environment in four major cities - Haiphong, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hue. As a direct result of the project, these cities, with an approximate total population of 19 million people, will gain access to a more efficient plastic waste management services model wherein 133 KTPA of plastic waste will be prevented from leaking into the environment, which represents a 17% decrease in current levels of plastic leakage.
