UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

The Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub brings together a passionate global community of strategic partners including children and young people, academia, private entrepreneurs, public policy makers, social development and humanitarian actors, and other UNICEF colleagues in the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector. The Hub, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, aims to source, accelerate and scale transformational and frontier climate resilient innovations that respond to key programmatic challenges that, if solved, will unlock faster progress for a water secure future for children and young people.

How can you make a difference?

The Consultant will contribute to the objectives of the WASH Hub by developing a scaling strategy for WASH innovation, outlining the approach and pathways to scale for potentially transformative solutions. This will be done through consultations with WASH Hub colleagues and other key players, including UNICEF country, regional offices, other HQ divisions, key sector actors including INGOs, UN Agencies and private sector.

Specifically, the consultant will:

  1. Consolidate and document the current approach to scaling in the WASH Hub.
  2. Review this approach in light of available best practice and develop an overarching Scaling Strategy for the WASH Hub.
  3. Develop templates for scaling pathways, identifying key elements of the pathway that need to be addressed.
  4. Provide case studies using two of the current portfolio solutions demonstrating the pathway to scale for each project solution.
