Terms of Reference for engaging Agency for Developing a Campaign in FY 2023-2024
Background
Established in 1981, WaterAid has its operations in 38 countries worldwide, transforming millions of lives every year with safe water, sanitation and hygiene, and working in India since 1986. From 2010, WaterAid India (WAI) is registered as Jal Seva Charitable Foundation (JSCF), a not-for-profit company under section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956, and is an associate member of WaterAid International. Across India, WAI’s presence is in 13 states, covering 39 districts. While JSCF’s goal is universal access to WASH, its work is prioritised from the locations of the excluded and most marginalized communities. JSCF works on themes such as drinking water security, sanitation, WASH in health and nutrition, WASH in schools and Menstrual Hygiene Management, in rural areas and in urban locations including census, small and medium towns. JSCF’s head office is located in New Delhi. Each state is managed through state offices. State offices are located in Lucknow, Patna, Raipur, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Apart from its own programs, JSCF’s work also focuses on WASH policy and advocacy, both at national and state levels.
JSCF intends to hire ICFR Auditors having prior experience in the same field to conduct ICFR audit for FY 2022 – 23.
About the project
Saamuhika Shakti is a collective impact initiative, the first of its kind in India, where seven implementing organisations have joined forces to enable waste pickers to have greater agency to lead secure and dignified lives, with a specific focus on gender and equity. This project is initiated and supported by the H&M Foundation, and The/Nudge Institute serves as the backbone.
WaterAid India focuses on ‘providing access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation for waste picker communities by building awareness, creating evidence of exclusion and liaising with the government.
WaterAid India recognises that providing just physical infrastructure – toilets, water tanks and taps – is not enough. It needs to be combined with listening to what the community wants – for instance, preference for Indian-style toilets over western-style ones – and working with them to build, operate and maintain this infrastructure. Our intervention also includes raising awareness on hygiene practices such as washing hands, and on working against period taboos in the communities.
Title: “WASH your way to wellness”, a behaviour change campaign to bring about a change in behaviour and attitude towards WASH.

- To increase awareness on key hygiene messages
