USAID IUWASH Job Vacancy: Behavior Change Communication Capacity Development Specialist based in Jakarta
USAID Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID IUWASH) project is a sixty-month program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented under the leadership of DAI. USAID IUWASH works with government, the private sector, NGOs, community groups and other stakeholders to improve access to safe water supply and sanitation in
Indonesia’s urban areas. The expected results to be achieved are: (a) Two million people in urban areas gain access to improved water supply; (b) 200,000 people in urban areas gain access to improved sanitation facilities; and (c) the per unit water cost paid by the poor in targeted areas decreases by at least 20%. To achieve the above, technical assistance is divided in three main technical components:
1. Mobilizing demand for water supply and sanitation service delivery;
2. Improving and expanding capacity for water and sanitation service
delivery; and
3. Strengthening policy and the financial enabling environment for
improved water supply and sanitation service delivery.
Within the framework of the above, The Manoff Group (TMG) will serve as a
member of USAID’s IUWASH team, and while it may provide assistance under

communications under Component 1 (demand mobilization for improved water and
sanitation services). TMG is currently recruiting for Behavior Change
Communication Capacity Development Specialist to be based in Jakarta. The

succinct summary of findings and gaps in information.
- Help plan and participate in project assessments – of water and
sanitation conditions, resources, strengths and weaknesses of potential
government, non-government and community partners.

relevant experience and capabilities, as well as recent and current
