SNV is seeking qualified, senior professionals in Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) for ourWASH Sector LeaderandSenior WASH Advisorglobal positions

Access to safe, clean drinking water and sanitation is a basic human right. Yet, more than one third of the world’s population does not have access to proper sanitation, and many people do not have access to reliable sources of drinking water. SNV works with local partners to ensure that the people who need it most have access to safe drinking water and sanitation services. We build demand for improved water and sanitation at the local level, creating vital change from the ground up. SNV intervenes in the rural, small town and peri-urban WASH subsectors with a focus on sustainability of existing water infrastructure and behavior change. Our work in the WASH sector aims to improve the performance of all parties involved, including national and local governments, the private sector, and civil society.

SNV contributes to improved WASH service delivery, specifically:
