Notice Title

ITT for Services to Facilitate the Implementation of Water for Sanitation and Heath Action Research in Accra, Ghana

Notice Description

Lancaster University is inviting bids for services to implement the action research component of the RECIRCULATE WP2: Water for Sanitation and Health project which is currently underway in Ghana. The successful partner will be a non-government organisation with substantial experience of implementing Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene ("WASH") projects in low-income urban communities in Africa in general and Accra, Ghana in particular. It will comply with Lancaster University and Council for Scientific and Industrial Research ("CSIR") research ethics protocols. The partner should be located in the Accra area, and be able to mobilise and begin working with the existing project team by early March 2019. The requirement will be to focus on two pre-selected low-income settlements in Accra, Ghana, under the direct guidance of Lancaster University's WP2 team and in full partnership with RECIRCULATE Ghana collaborator CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research). One of the settlements will be a control (meaning no intervention will take place in this site but the selected/sample area, population, and water, sanitation and hygiene facilities, practices will be subject to a range of data collection and observational activities). The other settlement will receive targeted WASH interventions (encompassing both hard infrastructure and soft measures), whilst being subject to the same range of data collection and observational activities as the control. In each site, the sample area will contain roughly 800 households (containing anywhere between 1 and 10 people of all ages and genders). The sample size will be finalised through consultation with all project partners. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
