UNICEF’s Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub (‘the Hub’) is seeking a consultant to develop a Capacity Building Strategy that will equip UNICEF Country Offices, regional teams, governments, and key partners with the capabilities needed to adopt, adapt, and accelerate innovative WASH solutions at scale. Building on the Hub’s vision to drive transformational, climate‑resilient WASH innovations, the strategy will strengthen the ability of national and local actors to deploy emerging technologies, leverage innovative financing, and embed evidence‑driven approaches into programmes that address the most pressing WASH challenges. This assignment forms a critical pillar of the Hub’s next phase (2026–2029), as UNICEF expands its leadership in elevating high‑impact solutions towards multi‑regional adoption.
The consultant will work closely with the WASH Innovation Hub, the new WASH Global Program, global WASH networks, UNICEF Country Offices, and a diverse ecosystem of partners to define the competencies, systems, and resources needed to strengthen innovation capacity across contexts. This includes documenting existing capacity approaches, identifying gaps, synthesising global best practice, and proposing a coherent framework with clear pathways, milestones, and enabling conditions for sustained capacity development. The resulting strategy will help position UNICEF’s new Nairobi‑based WASH Centre of Excellence and the Hub as global drivers of capability strengthening—empowering governments, practitioners, and local innovators to deliver climate‑resilient WASH services at scale, and ultimately shaping a more equitable, water‑secure future for every child.
