Consultant for the revision of Water Safety Plans manual in Timor-Leste. Dili. WASH. 6 Months. Office Based (With Travel)#594318 in Timor-Leste
The consultant intends to support the Ministry of Health (MoH) in review and revise country Water Safety Plan manual through desk review, site visits, WASH stakeholder consultations and national validations 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.

Consultant for development of Air Quality Strategy for UNICEF. Islamabad Pakistan.WASH.6 Months. Nationals Only.Office based ( with Travel)#594326 in Pakistan
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.
