It’s hard to believe that today 844 million people do not have clean water and 2.3 billion do not have a decent toilet – around one in three of the world’s population. Every two minutes a child under five dies from diarrheal diseases caused by poor water and sanitation.

Working within the WaterAid Pakistan, the Head of Policy and Advocacy will overview;
- Support the strategic designing and implementation of I&E programmes for bringing about the transformational changes necessary to achieve sustainable WASH services for all.
- Design and launch issue-based advocacy campaigns at national and provincial level
- Analyse and review sector policies and plans and seek to influence government and foreign aid and assistance.
To be successful, you’ll need to have;
- Extensive experience in the relevant field.
- Experience in senior management position.
- Proven experience in water and sanitation sector in Pakistan context.
- Ability to conduct policy analysis, undertake cutting-edge research and advocacy as well as managing campaigns would be preferred
- Very strong policy influencing and strategic planning skills with demonstrated experience
- Proven experience of developing diverse donors’ successful funding proposals
- Proven experience of developing and leading programmes that deliver transformational change through the integration of learning.
We started because no NGO like us existed. We’ll end when no organisation like us is needed. In the meantime, we’re making great progress – since 1981, we have reached 25 million people with clean water and, since 2004, 24 million people with sanitation.
We’re looking for people who share a commitment to our vision. We’re looking for people with an appreciation and respect for different people and ideas, and the energy and expertise to help tackle the most important challenges.
In return, you can expect to get inspiration from the change you help make happen, a sense of belonging and the feeling of being part of a global community. You will also experience stimulation and fulfilment, the chance to grow, and space to be yourself at your best. This is our pledge to you.
