Job description
About the Organization
Action Against Hunger, under the Lake Chad Inclusive Economic and Social Recovery 2 (RESILAC 2) project with funding from the European Union and AFD in collaboration with Borno State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RUWASSA), is committed to improving access to sustainable sanitation in Konduga, Jere, and MMC Local Government Areas of Borno State, Nigeria.
Project Background
Sanitation and hygiene in Borno State face major challenges due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis, environmental hazards like flooding, and limited infrastructure. Access to sanitation is severely limited in many parts of the state, especially in IDP camps, rural areas, and conflict-affected LGAs.
Open defecation remains a critical issue. As of recent reports, only 2 out of 27 LGAs (Biu and Shani) have declared Open Defecation Free (ODF) status.
Scope of Work
To effectively design and implement sanitation marketing interventions, this research will focus on understanding:
- Community sanitation behaviors and preferences
- Willingness to pay for sanitation services
- Supply chain dynamics
- Existing market barriers and opportunities
The research will guide the development of demand-driven, market-based sanitation interventions that align with the cultural, social, and economic realities of target communities, ensuring uptake and sustained use. It will also ensure that products, pricing, promotion, and delivery channels align with what communities want and can afford, increasing the likelihood of latrine adoption and sustained use.
Geographical Coverage
Jere, MMC, and Konduga Local Government Areas of Borno State (15 communities)
Required Qualifications
- Advanced degree in Public Health, Social Sciences, WASH, or related field
- Minimum 5 years of experience conducting qualitative and quantitative research, preferably in WASH and behavior change
- Strong experience with sanitation marketing, social marketing, or demand-side WASH interventions
- Resident of Maiduguri with excellent knowledge of the humanitarian context
