Purpose
MWA is seeking an experienced Water Intervention Manager for the Resilient Arid Lands Partnership for Integrated Development Plus (RAPID+) Program. RAPID+ is a five-year program running from November 2021 – September 2026 convened and led by MWA. The program has primary funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Corporation (SDC) and contributions and investment funds from private sector actors, four facilitating partners including CARE Kenya, the Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Food for the Hungry (FH) and World Vision (WV) and five hosting county governments. RAPID+ aims to improve access to water and rangeland services for 200,000 people in the five counties of Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Turkana, and Wajir. RAPID+ activities are being implemented using a gender transformative lens and systems development approaches. These two aspects are expected to embed sustainability and inclusivity in the program. The goal of RAPID+ is to improve access to safe and sustainably managed water and rangelands in RAPID+ counties to contribute to resilient livelihoods for communities in a peaceful environment. The program is contributing to this goal through two outcomes: (1) Pastoralist communities have increased access to sustainable and safe water for multiple uses benefiting men, women, and youth, and (2) Pastoralist communities have improved access to safe and ecologically healthy rangeland resources that promote greater integrity, social cohesion, and gender equity.
Job Summary
The Water Intervention Manager will report to the RAPID+ Program Director and provide overall coordination and management for the program’s water interventions. The manager will focus on leveraging the water delivery expertise in the partner entities to ensure high quality, timely delivery of program results. For the five key interventions under the water outcome of RAPID+ (water governance, infrastructure rehabilitation, private sector participation in the water sector, water resource management, and water for productive use) the manager will ensure that results are being achieved as planned. They will also be required to provide necessary trouble shooting and support and ensure the sharing of best practices across the program partners. The manager is expected to closely collaborate with the other sectors of the program focusing on governance, rangeland management and gender. The manager is also required to work closely with the Kenya RAPID+ partners, specifically the County Coordination Units (CCUs) in the five ASAL counties of implementation, as well as the county governments. Within MWA, the Water Intervention Manager also expected to liaise closely with existing MWA programs relevant to the RAPID+ program. These include the Drought Resilience Impact Platform- Fixing Uptime Now and Decision Improvement (DRIP-FUNDI) and the STAWI Mashinani program.
