Company Description
Background
SNV
is a not-for-profit international development organisation. Founded in
the Netherlands 50 years ago, we have built a long-term, local presence
in 39 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our
global team of local and international advisors works with local
partners to equip communities, businesses and organisations with the
tools, knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and
gain access to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of
poverty and guide their own development.
Programme Summary
Urban
Sanitation and Hygiene for Health and Development is a multi-country
programme that works with municipal governments to develop inclusive,
safe and sustainable city-wide sanitation services. SNV Tanzania is
seeking an experienced WASH professional to be part of the SNV Tanzania
team (already comprised of a Programme Manager, an Urban Sanitation
& Hygiene Engineer, a Governance and BCC Advisor, a Junior WASH
Advisor, a Project Field Assistant and a Communications Intern) of this
multi-country programme.
The programme integrates insights in
WASH governance, investment and finance, behavioural change
communication, business models and management of sanitation services. It
will engage private sector, civil society organizations, users and

in their city.
The programme serves as a framework for countries
to develop their work as well as a basis for exchange and knowledge
development between countries. The programme has a strong learning
component involving teams and partners.

Overview of the Position
Business Development Advisor – Lead and manage the activities associated with achieving the
desired
market development result: Increased availability of affordable and
appropriate WASH products and services. Appropriate WASH products and
services are often absent or only responding to the needs of the
wealthiest consumer segments, thereby severely limiting the options to
poorer consumers to practice safe WASH behaviours. The programme does
not assume that any service provider or service model is better than any
other; WASH service providers can be private, government or community
managed.
By improving WASH service provision, the programme aims
to increase the availability of environmentally sustainable (including
climate resilient), affordable and appropriate products and services for
all consumers, including those at the bottom of the pyramid.
This will be done with a three-fold strategy:
· Increasing the availability of financial services for both service providers as well as users
· (consumers)
·
Developing new products and services for consumers at the
bottom of the pyramid with attention for the different needs and
interests of women and men and for the possible climate change effects.
