Water and Sanitation Advisor, FL-0028-02

This position is located in the Center for Water Security, Sanitation and Hygiene (CW) of USAID’s Bureau for Resilience and Food Security (RFS). RFS’s mission is to partner to advance inclusive agriculture-led growth, resilience, nutrition, and access to water and sanitation to accelerate and protect progress on the Journey to Self-Reliance. RFS oversees four high-level, integrated efforts in support of this mission: (1) Feed the Future, guided by the Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS), (2) the USAID Multi-Sector Nutrition Strategy, (3) the U.S. Global Water Strategy, and (4) efforts to increase resilience in areas of recurrent humanitarian crisis. To deliver on this work, RFS partners with other Federal Departments and Agencies, USAID Bureaus and Missions, universities, civil society, and other public and private-sector actors. CW is the strategic and technical lead on the Agency’s work to implement the Water for the World Act of 2014; USAID’s investments in water, sanitation, and hygiene; and the Agency’s broader water-related activities through Washington Operating Units and Missions. The Center serves as the technical lead and coordination platform for all water-related issues across the Agency, and supports the USAID Global Water Coordinator to guide, oversee, and direct water programming Agency-wide.
