About Self Help Africa<\/strong><\/p> Established in 1984, Self Help Africa is an international development organisation that works through agriculture and agri-enterprise development to address hunger, poverty, social inequality and the impacts of climate change. We believe that equitable economic development is key to lifting communities out of long-term poverty, empowering them to take control of their futures and improving their quality of life. <\/p> In early 2023 we launched a new five-year organisation strategy, which defines shared mission as the alleviation of hunger, poverty, social inequality and the impact of climate change through community-led, market-based and enterprise- focused approaches, so that people can have access to nutritious food, clean water, decent employment and incomes, while sustaining natural resources.<\/p> Our wider organisation also includes social enterprise subsidiaries Partner Africa, which provides ethical auditing and consultancy services, and CUMO, Malawi\u2019s largest micro-finance provider.<\/p> Our three core values are:<\/p> Project description<\/strong><\/p> SHA has been appointed by a group of researchers led by the University of Berkeley (UCB) to conduct a study financed by Give Well, on chlorination devices that can ensure year-round access to safe and treated potable water and enhance the health outcomes of rural populations in Cross River and Kano States.<\/p> It will be a random control trial where different in line chlorination devices will be installed on piped water schemes among 20 communities in each state and compare with another 20 communities. So, the objective will be to determine user acceptability and uptake of chlorine and evaluate the effect of the intervention on water quality and water source in the 40 communities of intervention and compare to the other 40. By focusing on improving the quality of drinking water in these communities, the project will implement regular testing and treatment protocols to ensure safety and compliance with health standards.<\/p> It aligns with SHA\u2019s goal of ensuring safe water and access to reliable services for water and sanitation and the research will be conducted in parallel of other programmes of SHA looking at system strengthening and building capacities of local actors. One component is looking at establishing professional services for delivering a sustainable access to safe water. This includes sensitizing water users on the importance of paying for water services and encouraging them to move from a repair approach to a more proactive and preventive one. It also relies on building the capacities of local area mechanics (LAMs) and maintenance service providers. SHA is also working in close collaboration with WASH institutions to improve the monitoring of performance of water service providers and access to water. The project also emphasizes community involvement by strengthening the financial management skills of community members, ensuring transparent governance and long-term sustainability of water infrastructure. Through this integrated approach, the initiative aims to deliver lasting improvements in public health and water service reliability in underserved rural areas.<\/p> Job purpose<\/strong> Key Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p> Procurement planning and facilitate execution of procurement plans <\/strong><\/strong><\/p> Travel, Logistics & Events Coordination<\/strong><\/strong><\/p> Accountability<\/strong> <\/p> In line with Self Help Africa\u2019s commitments under the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS), the job holder will: <\/p> Key relationships<\/strong><\/p> Internal: <\/strong>Procurement, Programme, Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning, Finance & Admin, HR & Admin, Security and Communications teams.
