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.
