Consultancy support on the AU State of Africa children report on WASH and preparations for the UN 2026 Water Conference & Interactive Dialogue report on Water for People
The vision of the UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub (WASH Hub) is a global
home for building, accelerating and scaling transformational climate resilient solutions for a
WASH secure future of universal and equitable access to services, addressing the full ambition of the SDG6. WASH Hub will source, pilot and scale transformational and frontier climate resilient solutions that respond to key programmatic challenges that, if solved, will unlock faster progress for a water secure future for children and young people. One of those solutions is Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) technology, a geophysical method that uses electromagnetic induction to map sustainable deep groundwater sources.
The Consultant will support the WASH Hub by outlining the scaling pathway, approach and key considerations for the Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) solution, to support multi-country and multi-region scale.
This consultancy will assess the current fiscal space for WASH by reviewing government budgets, donor funding, and private sector involvement. It will identify opportunities to expand financing through domestic resource mobilization, efficiency gains, and innovative approaches such as climate and blended finance.
Based on this, a WASH Financing Strategy will be developed, outlining key financing pathways, resource mobilization options, and institutional strengthening measures. The consultant will also provide actionable policy recommendations to improve sector financing, coordination, and sustainability.
