Overview

DecTech is seeking Chief of Party (COP) candidates for the anticipated USAID Water Security, Sanitation and Hygiene (WSSH) Data & Analytics Activity (previously called IDEAL WASSH). USAID seeks to transform the best global WSSH data available into actionable insights that can accelerate progress toward the U.S. Government’s Global Water Strategy and USAID’s Water and Development Plan; help decision-makers leverage insights to enhance decisions; and do so in a way that strengthens the global WSSH data ecosystem for all actors.

The purpose of the WSSH Data & Analytics Activity is to support USAID stakeholders to make evidence-informed routine WSSH related decisions. To achieve this goal, the Activity will have the following four primary objectives:

  • Objective 1: Strengthening the WSSH Data Landscape
  • Objective 2: Supporting Data-Informed Decisions
  • Objective 3: Monitoring WSSH Acceleration Resulting from USAID’s System Strengthening Work
  • Objective 4: Providing Tailored, Evidence-Informed Decision Support

The COP will oversee all strategic, technical, and operational aspects of the Activity, and will act as the main point of contact between USAID, DevTech, and partner organizations. The COP will be critical to ensuring timely communication and collaboration on a range of complex tasks, and ensuring timely and accurate submission of high-quality deliverables that respond to USAID’s priorities and expectations. 

Qualifications

  • Minimum Education: M.S. or M.A. degree in international development, data science, public policy, or other relevant social science or water and sanitation related field;
  • A minimum of 8 years of experience engaging with data analysis; 
  • At least 3 years of previous leadership and management experience at a level commensurate to that of a COP, with demonstrated experience developing excellent collaborative working relationships with counterparts, other contractors, and international organizations and donors;

  • Experience supporting thought leadership, including writing about and/or presenting findings to diverse stakeholders to encourage uptake;
