Job Description:
Term: Consultant or Firm
Program Type: MFAT Water Sector Partnership
Duration: 60 Days
1. Background and Overview
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.

2. Purpose
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. The NIP aims to complete DWSSPs for all 2000 Vanuatu communities by 2030. 

As the NIP is rolled out, there is a need to communicate key messages regarding DWSSPs, the NIP and CAP to Area Secretaries, Council of Chiefs, Church leaders and Village WASH committee members.  The Media Creation Consultant (Consultant) will create a communication strategy, finalize key messages and then create needed videos, poster and/or sample letters.

3. Scope

4. Deliverables, Timing and Level of Effort

  • Preliminary Plan submitted for approval by DoWR and MFAT Water Sector Partnership Steering Committee, outlining key messages, audiences, and suggested communication channels in English (10% payment, 15 days from assignment start)
