The GLAAS initiative is seeking a consultant to provide technical assistance to selected countries with respect to developing a system to track national financial flows in WASH (TrackFin)

Purpose of the consultancy position
The purpose of the consultancy within WSH is to support the development and implementation of technical assistance to enable countries to track financing to water, sanitation and hygiene in order to better target resources, improve health, and contribute to harmonized regional and global water and sanitation-related monitoring. The activities of the Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Health (WSH) Unit at WHO are oriented towards attaining the highest possible reduction of water, sanitation and hygiene-related diseases through primary prevention and maximizing the health benefits of sustainable water and sanitation management.
Specifically, the WHO-led, UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) reports on the capacity of countries to progress towards the global water and sanitation targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).. GLAAS provides a national and global update every two years on the policy frameworks, institutional arrangements, human resource capacity, and international and national finance streams in support of sanitation and drinking-water. As publicly available data on the status of finance in the sector is scarce and difficult to collect, WSH launched in 2012, as part of the UN-Water GLAAS effort, a new initiative entitled TrackFin to improve tracking of financial flows in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
