We are seeking a consultant to monitor WASH supplies and supervise and develop capacity on construction, operation and maintenance of Gravity Fed Water Systems (GFS).

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up.

For every child, resilience

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) continues to be affected by an ongoing complex emergency that has a severe impact on the nutrition, health and well-being of children. Since the late 1990s, UNICEF – together with partners – has responded through a multisectoral programme including nutrition, health and WASH interventions. Within WASH, most emphasis has been on support to rebuild the national water system network – which has fallen into disrepair – through support for construction of gravity-fed water systems (GFSs). GFSs are a good fit for the challenges of the national context (limited electricity for pumping, limited spares for pumps, limited options for alternative water supply systems) while capitalizing on the opportunities provided by topography and the availability of protected water sources.

How can you make a difference? 

In 2017, UNICEF conducted an independent evaluation of Gravity Fed Water Systems (GFS) that it has supported for the past 13 years. In line with the recommendations, we are now seeking a consultant to monitor WASH supplies and supervise and develop capacity on construction, operation and maintenance of GFS. In particular, the consultant will be tasked to

  • Monitor WASH supplies and provide technical supervision of GFS construction, repair and rehabilitation.
  • Update the Construction, Operation and Maintenance Manual 
  • Deliver two batches of a 5-day training on the manual
  • Write a final report and accompanying presentation describing the GFS programme inclusive of best practices and recommendations for improvement

The assignment is estimated at 52 working days starting 1 October. For the duration of the assignment, the consultant will be based in Pyongyang with frequent travel to the field.
