Organisation Description
|
|
The Department of Water Resources
(DoWR) under the auspices of the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, was
set up to ensure sustainable and equitable access to safe water and
sanitation for the people of Vanuatu to support improved public health and
promote social and economic development.

Job Description
|
|
In 2017, a ‘National Implementation
Plan for Safe and Secure Drinking Water’ (NIP), was approved by the National
Water Advisor Council (NWAC). The NIP
is a national framework for achieving Vanuatu’s vision of 100% access to
safely managed drinking water by 2030. The NIP defines 2 key implementation
mechanisms: (1) ‘Drinking Water Safety and Security Plans’ (DWSSP) which is a
community level planning tool and data gathering mechanism that enables the
DoWR to plan and implement water infrastructure investments; and (2) the
‘Capital Assistance Programme’ (CAP) which is the financing and procurement
mechanism that allows DoWR to deliver water infrastructure projects for
communities that have completed a DWSSP.
After the DWSSP, it is envisioned community members will manage their
water systems. The formation of a
water committee, plumbers training, and community management training will
further strengthen the communities ability to manage their water
systems. After community led design
and construction of water system, it is hoped that communities can be left
with an operation and maintenance manual that outlines necessary actions to
manage their water system. The consultant will create standard Operations and
Maintenance manuals for surface water, ground water and rain water supply
systems that can be updated specifically for each system constructed.
