Job Title: Landscape Analysis Consultant

Job ID: 2023-4992
Location: Nigeria
Category: International Positions
Employment Status: Full-Time

Overview

• Water, Sanitation and Infection prevention programs contribute to the containment of healthcare associated infections and remain a cornerstone of health system resiliency and preparedness. Despite this, major gaps in basic water, sanitation, hygiene, waste management and cleaning services continue to exist in health care facilities (HCFs) and have further been brought to the limelight in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Recent studies show that a quarter of all HCFs around the world have no basic water services, with 857 million people having no access to water when they use health care facilities. Approximately 10% of HCFs globally have no sanitation services and half (49%) of health care facilities globally have no basic hand hygiene service, including availability of functional hand hygiene facilities at points of care, and within five metres of toilets. In sub Saharan Africa, only 39% of health care facilities safely segregate waste into at least three bins, with sharps and infectious waste are treated and disposed of safely. Global data is insufficient to estimate the quality of cleaning services, but available sub-national data suggests that professionalized and effective cleaning services are rare within health systems. WASH services are especially deficient in least-developed countries (LDCs). In LDCs, half of HCFs lack basic water services. In sub-Saharan Africa, only 13% of health care facilities have basic sanitation services (with usable improved sanitation facilities, including at least one toilet dedicated for staff, at least one sex-separated toilet with menstrual hygiene facilities, and at least one toilet accessible for people with limited mobility). Only Seven out of ten HCFs in LDCs lack basic health care waste management services.  
• USAID’s Momentum Country and Global Leadership (MCGL) Project is conducting a landscape analysis to understand the key characteristics and enabling factors of viable and effective water, sanitation, waste management, cleaning, and disinfection/sterilization service delivery models for HCFs, compare service models across high, middle and low-income settings, and make recommendations for an improvement agenda for funders, governments, and implementing partners.
