Enabel, in partnership with the Ministry of Water in Tanzania is implementing a 5-year Water and Sanitation Kigoma Regional Project (WASKIRP) to contribute to poverty reduction through improved access to safe drinking water in Kigoma region. The project identifies that there has been inadequate attention to operation and maintenance, right from the planning and design stages through to operation of projects. Secondly, there is inadequate community participation in project implementation, which leads to a low sense of ownership of the projects.

The goal of the project is to contribute towards equitable development and poverty reduction among Kigoma rural communities through improved access to safe and clean water supply and sanitation services. Specifically, the project seeks to increase access to safe water and sanitation services and reduce burden related to water and sanitation amongst communities in Kigoma region, especially women and youths, and use the water as social economic commodity through sustainable interventions on water supply and hygiene practices.

The objective of this job position is to provide technical support to the project in its construction activities and in developing the capacity of communities for effective operations and maintenance of the water supply infrastructure being supported by Enabel.
