∎ Contract Duration: 2 (two) years with a possibility of extension depending on performance and availability of funds.
∎ Expected Joining Date: As soon as possible.
∎ Working Hours: Full time (minimum of 40 hours per week)
∎ SNV is a mission-driven global development partner working in more than 20 countries across Africa and Asia. Building on 60 years of experience and grounded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we work on the core themes of gender equality and social inclusion, climate adaptation and mitigation, and strong institutions and effective governance. Our mission is to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems, which enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.

∎ In Bangladesh, SNV had initiated urban water (primarily in Sanitation) programme from 2014 in southern cities and have been proactively engaged in National level to support urban sanitation initiatives. SNV under the Urban Sanitation Programme with the support from BMGF and DGIS aims to support Local Authorities (Khulna and Gazipur City Corporations, Kushtia, Jhenaidah, Jessore and Benapole Paurashavas) to address service delivery challenges in sanitation and advance the sector development as a whole, through strategic engagement with Government Agencies and partnering with other experienced civil society and private sector organisations working in the sector.
∎ SNV believes in rethinking, reforming, and enhancing institutional structures to lessen the impact of rapid urbanisation and climate threats. To do this, we must seek ways to improve the governance and practices of the waste management, drainage and water supply sectors. In Bangladesh, the local government is responsible for water, sanitation, drainage, and solid waste, often needing more local capacities. Private sector engagement plays a crucial role in making cities more sustainable, but accountability and performance still need improvement. SNV has been working with different stakeholders to set up PPPs with clearer rules of engagement and oversight to strengthen performance accountability by adopting a holistic approach to a sustainable urban water cycle. In continuation of this, and in close collaboration with the two responsible national departments – the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) and the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) SNV is heading towards a new approach of promoting Sustainable Urban Water Cycle in Bangladesh. Supporting this, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Bangladesh has awarded SNV a new project in Bangladesh titled "Transitioning to sustainable urban water cycles in Bangladesh".
∎ The objective of this project is to improve sanitation, solid waste, and drainage water management to protect the health and well-being of around 1.4 million people in 12 cities and towns by increasing access to safe, essential urban services (sanitation, solid waste, stormwater management). Moreover, the project will initiate improvements in relevant water resource management indicators at the city level over five years.
∎ The project envisages the following six (six) outcomes: to support city-wide inclusive services by professionalising and making urban sanitation and solid waste facilities financially viable.
∎ Strengthened capacities to support city-wide inclusive services.
∎ Increased professionalisation and financial viability of urban sanitation and solid waste services.
∎ Strengthened governance, regulation, enforcement, and monitoring capacity.
∎ Strengthened performance, integration and circularity of treatment, reuse, and recycling.
∎ More responsive strategic communication towards consumer behaviours.
∎ Improved capacity and preparedness for city-level floods and droughts.
∎ The project will work in various geographically and ecologically diverse areas across Bangladesh. Four city corporations and eight paurashavas are grouped into the following six clusters: Gazipur, Sylhet, Cumilla, and Khulna City Corporation, and Chapai Nawabganj, Shibganj, Khustia, Joypurhat, Lalmonirhat, Moulvibazar, Chatak, and Bagerhat municipality.
∎ The project aligns with the long-term Bangladesh Delta Plan (BDP) 2100; and related national commitments on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), most notably SDG 6 on achieving inclusive and sustainable safely managed sanitation, SDG11 around solid waste and water-related risks, and SDG13 around resilience, adaptive capacity and greenhouse gas emissions.
∎ The project aims to achieve systems change towards a sustainable urban water cycle (SUWC) at the city level and contribute to the national level. We follow a systematic process through all interventions to ensure the approach is institutionalised within the LGIs e.g., City corporations, Paurashavas, strong coordination with WASA’s, Development authorities, DC/UNO office etc. The position requires dynamic multi-tasking on-hands professional who is passionate about working directly with LGIs (City Corporations/ Paurashavas), governments intuitions, development partners and private sectors, to achieve programme objectives.
