National Individual
Consultant
Water Consultant - Implementation and Development of Inclusive
Business Models to Improve Access to Safe Water and Increase Agricultural Productivity
by Utilizing Japanese Water Purification Technologies in Kenya
Background
Kenya is classified as a
water scarce country.
The amount of water source
per head is 647m3 per year in Kenya, which is far less than water poverty
criterion of 1,000m3 per year (FAO).
This amount is expected to
decrease to 235 m3 per year by 2025, mainly due to population growth.
The Government of Kenya,
through the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI), which is the key
institution responsible for the water sector in Kenya, has obligations to meet
in various international treaties relating to rivers, river basins, water
courses and lakes.
Under the MDGs, Kenya is
committed to a 50% reduction of people without sustainable access to safe
drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015.
Provision of water is also
a prerequisite for the attainment of targets under the other MDGs.
MWI, therefore, has a big
challenge in ensuring the necessary availability and access to water services
to facilitate the attainment of the MDGs.
Objective
UNDP seeks to recruit a
National Individual Consultant to develop inclusive business models to improve
access to safe water and improve agricultural yields in Kenya, by utilizing
Japanese water purification technologies.
