Background of WASH Systems Analysis in Nigeria <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Access to WASH services in Nigeria remains an issue of national concern. Despite progress in expanding coverage, service delivery continues to be constrained by weak institutions, inadequate financing, poor regulation and accountability mechanisms, and insufficient coordination across federal, state and local levels. These challenges underscore the importance of adopting a holistic systems-strengthening approach, which goes beyond infrastructure provision to building an enabling environment for the delivery of sustainable WASH services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n WASH Systems Analysis is a structured process that assesses the performance and effectiveness of WASH actors and factors through the nine internationally recognized WASH systems \u201cbuilding blocks\u201d. It helps to identify strengths, gaps and complementarities across the sector, while providing evidence-based insights to guide reform, prioritization, planning and investment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Nigeria, several states and LGA-level systems analyses have already been undertaken by organizations such as WaterAid, UNICEF, Federal Ministry of Water Resources, Self Help Africa etc. The findings from these exercises have demonstrated the value of a systems approach in strengthening state and LGA-level decision-making, WASH planning, resource mobilization and allocation, as well as accountability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, while State and LGA level assessments are important, there is a pressing need for a national-level WASH Systems Analysis that synthesises evidence from across the country and presents a comprehensive picture of the enabling environment for WASH service delivery. Such an analysis will help identify common systemic bottlenecks, highlight good practices, and inform federal-level policy, financing and coordination mechanisms. It will also provide a platform for aligning state and federal priorities, strengthening sector dialogue, and guiding development partner investments towards accelerating progress on the Sustainable Development Goal 6, even post SDG. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In line with this, Agenda for Change (A4C) in collaboration with its partners, and the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, seeks to engage a qualified WASH Consultant to provide technical support in conducting a participatory national WASH Systems Analysis at a joint stakeholder workshop in Abuja, Nigeria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectives of the Engagement<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The objectives of this consultancy are to provide expert technical support to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Technical Deliverables<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Consultant Qualifications and Requirements<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
