Tender Details

Tenders are invited for National Consultant for the Field Coordination of the Installation of the Water Tanks for the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Marowijne Project .

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.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

Background

Excessive intense rainfall in February 2017 (the short-dry seasons) in the Upper Marowijne catchment area caused unexpected rapid flooding of many villages along the shores of and on islands in the Marowijne River affecting about 3000 people. In the absence of piped drinking water, people collect rainwater for drinking water, while in the dry season water from creeks and the river is used. The PAHO/WHO country office in Suriname in collaboration with UNICEF, government ministries, agencies and the district commissioner of Marowijne is providing technical cooperation and assistance to coordinate the delivery of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) supplies and trainings to communities regularly affected by floods in the Upper Marowijne area.

In April-May 2018, tanks were distributed to the selected villages. Early May, locations were assessed during a fact-finding mission and marked with GPS coordinates. The next phase is the installation of the water tanks. Five contractors were selected for the installation. The scope of work is to be achieved through the combined effort of PAHO and UNICEF.

In the period March 5th, 2018 through June 30th, 2018 PAHO contracted the support of a consultant for managing the project.

For the current installation phase there is a need for the continuation of the support by the consultant for coordination and oversight of the field work by the contractors. Furthermore, organizing and coordinating the logistics regarding material and people.
