UNICEF India is seeking a national individual consultancy to develop frameworks, action plans, manuals, SOPs, and capacity-building plans for climate-resilient and safely managed sanitation services, with a focus on strengthening climate-resilient WASH services, sanitation value chains, functionality, and operation and maintenance, for a period of 14.5 months.

The Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene in Schools (WinS) Program is a critical component of quality education, child health, dignity, and protection. Adequate WASH services in schools contribute to improved learner attendance, reduced incidence of water- and sanitation-related diseases, safer and more inclusive learning environments, and better education outcomes. For adolescent girls WASH facilities are particularly important to ensure privacy, dignity, menstrual health and hygiene, and continued participation in school activities.
The Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) localized the program.
MBHTE oversees approximately 2,612 public elementary and secondary schools mandated to implement WinS and report through the WinS Online Monitoring System (OMS), which generates ratings through the Three-Star Rating System. However, schools and divisions continue to experience difficulties in monitoring, reporting, and data uploading due to limited internet connectivity, technical login issues, incomplete submissions, and varying interpretations of indicators.
Challenges also persist in school WASH infrastructure, supplies, water safety, waste management, operation and maintenance, and access to technical assistance, particularly in remote, island, conflict-affected, and climate vulnerable areas. Since WinS data is largely self-reported, field validation is needed to verify the actual functionality, adequacy, accessibility, safety, and sustainability of school WASH services. Given these gaps, UNICEF and MBHTE require dedicated technical support to conduct a comprehensive assessment and validation of WinS implementation across BARMM. The assignment will generate credible and usable evidence to guide planning, policy advocacy, resource mobilization, technical assistance, and integration of WinS priorities into School Improvement Plans (SIP), Division Education Development Plans (DEDP), and Bangsamoro Education Reform and Development Plan (BERDP)

The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo officially declared a new outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) affecting the provinces of Ituri and North Kivu, including the health zones of Mongbwalu, Rwampara, Bunia, and additional areas in North Kivu. National authorities, with the support of humanitarian partners, have activated emergency coordination and response mechanisms to contain the outbreak.
The epidemic is unfolding in a highly complex humanitarian context marked by insecurity, armed conflict, population displacement, and limited access to essential services. High population mobility overcrowded living conditions, and weak WASH infrastructure significantly increase the risk of healthcare-associated and community transmission.
The current outbreak involves a strain of Ebola virus, for which no approved vaccine is currently available. As a result, Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) interventions represent one of the most critical pillars of the response, requiring rapid operational scale-up, strong coordination, and robust monitoring systems across all affected provinces.
In this context, UNICEF is supporting the Ministry of Health and the national IPC coordination mechanisms to strengthen the overall IPC/WASH response.
