Background:
Timor-Leste has made significant progress in improving access to water supply since its independence in 2002; however, challenges remain in ensuring safe, reliable, and good-quality drinking water. Based on Timor-Leste Population and Housing
Census in 2022, while national access to basic water services has reached around 84.3%, more than 54% of households are still facing water shortages during the past six months. Furthermore, the absence of water quality database and institutional arrangement to maintain water quality data creates a major gap in maintaining improved water quality across the country.
Many rural water systems are poorly managed, making them vulnerable to contamination from human and animal waste,
environmental factors, and climate-related events like heavy rains and landslides. Poor quality of water for drinking and household use leads to ongoing public health concerns, including possible outbreak of waterborne diseases.
To ensure high-quality implementation, robust technical oversight, and long-term sustainability, UNICEF proposes to engage a National WASH Consultant - Water Supply and Capacity Building Expert. This role will focus on transferring technical knowledge, enhancing systems and processes, and supporting DPHE in establishing standards and practices for future scale-up.
The Programme Associate, GS-6, based in Hargeisa and reporting to the WASH Specialist, provides technical, operational and administrative support for the implementation of WASH programme activities. The role focuses on drinking water supply, sanitation infrastructure, and WASH hardware projects, while strengthening coordination with local authorities and ensuring quality, accountability and effective programme delivery across Somaliland.
UNICEF Haiti is seeking a dynamic, self-motivated, and results-oriented Programme Associate to join its WASH team. Given the scale of water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions across the country, this role plays a critical part in ensuring the successful delivery of safe, sustainable, and child-friendly WASH services that improve access to essential resources for children and communities.Reporting to the Chief of WASH, the Programme Associate will provide specialized programme and administrative support to facilitate the development, implementation and monitoring of UNICEF Haiti's WASH programmes. The role supports project management, implementing partnership coordination, data management and analysis, performance reporting, grant administration, and budget monitoring. It also contributes to digital innovation and operational efficiency through the use of digital tools and systems, supports communication and knowledge-sharing initiatives, coordinates capacity-building activities and events, and provides surge support to ensure business continuity and effective programme delivery. If you are a proactive professional with strong organizational skills, a passion for data-driven decision-making, and a commitment to improving the lives of children through quality WASH programming, we would love to hear from you.
UNICEF, through the Centre of Excellence for WASH, Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub and in collaboration with Country Offices, is supporting the development of a Sanitation Programme Facility (SPF) to accelerate access to safely managed sanitation services to households.
This assignment will therefore focus on a desk-based analytical exercise, synthesizing available evidence into a coherent, actionable framework to support decision-making.

Air pollution is one of the leading environmental health risks globally. The State of Global Air 2025 reports that
approximately 36% of the global population was exposed to PM2.5 concentrations exceeding 35 µg/m³ in 2023, while nearly
2.6 billion people remain exposed to household air pollution from the use of solid fuels1
. Globally, air pollution contributes
significantly to morbidity and mortality, with children being particularly vulnerable due to their developing respiratory
systems and higher exposure rates.
Air pollution arises from both outdoor (ambient) sources such as transport, industry, waste burning, and agriculture and
indoor (household) sources, primarily the use of biomass fuels for cooking and heating. Household air pollution remains a
major challenge in low- and middle-income countries, contributing to a high burden of disease among women and children2
.
Pakistan is among the countries most affected by poor air quality. The country’s annual mean PM2.5 levels remain
significantly above WHO guideline values, and a substantial proportion of the population continues to rely on polluting fuels
for cooking. WHO estimates indicate that approximately 47% of the population lacks access to clean cooking fuels, highlighting the scale of indoor air pollution exposure
In addition, Pakistan experiences recurrent seasonal smog episodes, particularly in Punjab, driven by vehicular emissions, industrial activity, agricultural burning, and meteorological conditions.
