Strategic Overview
UNICEF seeks a capacity-building partner to strengthen national and sub-national institutions in climate-resilient water safety planning (CR-WSP) and WASH sector monitoring. The project requires developing training modules, conducting ToT sessions, and establishing longitudinal impact validation mechanisms. Emphasis on integrating climate adaptation into WASH governance and MEAL frameworks.
Who is it For?
International NGOs, academic consortia, and consulting firms with proven expertise in WASH, climate adaptation, and institutional capacity development. Target beneficiaries are government ministries, regional water authorities, and local service providers in 5-7 climate-vulnerable countries.
Priorities
UNICEF WASH Strategic Framework 2022-2030 focuses on climate-resilient WASH services, equity, and sustainability. This RFP aligns with SDG 6 and the UNFCCC National Adaptation Plans, demanding cross-sectoral integration of WASH, health, and education.
Eligibility
Requires at least 10 years of WASH sector experience, demonstrated ability to deliver certified training on CR-WSP, MEAL systems, and financial management. Must have a global footprint and past performance with UNICEF or other UN agencies. Compliance with UN financial and audit standards mandatory.
Path to Success
Phase 1: Needs assessment and curriculum co-creation with GSLI's 'Water, Sanitation, Hygiene Training Workshop' to ensure alignment with UNICEF's CR-WSP methodology. Phase 2: Delivery of ToT for national trainers integrating 'Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning' and 'Data Analysis for Project Management' courses to build robust MEAL systems. Phase 3: Pilot implementation with embedded 'Grants Management Training Workshop' to ensure financial compliance. Phase 4: Scale-up and longitudinal impact evaluation. GSLI courses provide the certified expertise in WASH technical training and MEAL that UNICEF specifically requires, offering a competitive edge in institutional capacity building.
