General Call for Resumes - Municipal Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Follow-on (MuniWASH 2) Activity

Overview of the Project:

The anticipated US Agency for International Development (USAID) Municipal Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Follow-on (MuniWASH 2) Activity will improve financial viability and sustainability of private enterprises in the WASH sector and technical and operational performance among private and public actors. The activity will also improve sanitation market expansion, governance and management oversight, and regional learning. MuniWASH 2 will recognize that the institutional frameworks for WASH in Benin and Côte d'Ivoire are complex and adopt different approaches in those contexts, as needed. The activity will support national and subnational governments to establish and implement effective regulatory frameworks, financial incentives, and operational standards to strengthen the enabling environment for private sector engagement and investment. In parallel, the activity will support private enterprises to leverage community engagement, innovation, partnerships, and financing to develop cost-effective and scalable products and services that cater to the needs of underserved communities. MuniWASH 2 has four main objectives:

  • Ensure effective sector coordination, with policy and regulatory frameworks in place and strengthened governance and regulatory capacity;
  • Improve demand, ability to pay, and supply for inclusive, sustainable and climate-resilient sanitation;
  • Increase investment in WASH from the public and private sectors; and
  • Increase local, national and regional learning and knowledge sharing to learn from and replicate successful approaches.
