The Field Support Team (FST) (https://www.washcluster.net/fst) is a surge and remote operational support mechanism for National WASH Cluster/Sector Coordination Platforms (NCPs) and other WASH coordination arrangements in humanitarian contexts. The FST operates under the strategic leadership of the Global WASH Cluster (GWC)/Cluster Advocacy and Support Team (CAST) and is implemented through a consortium of partners to support system-wide engagement, currently led by Action Contre la Faim (ACF) with iMMAP Inc. as consortium member.
The FST provides reliable and predictable coordination support to enable effective, efficient, and accountable WASH response coordination at national and sub-national levels. The team is composed of cluster coordinators, information management officers, and an assessment specialist.
Support is delivered through in-country and virtual deployments, as well as through remote, task-based technical assistance and global services provided to multiple countries through online platforms, guidance, tools, and capacity strengthening activities.
The role focuses primarily on:
• Providing structured operational remote, global and deployment support and guidance to NCPs on core coordination functions, with specific focus on Public Health Emergencies.
• Supporting NCPs to sustain effective coordination in the face of resource constraints, or in the face of a sudden deterioration of humanitarian settings.
• Contributing to advancing global support priorities (core and emerging functions), under the guidance of UNICEF/Cluster Advocacy and Support Team (CAST).
We are seeking for a senior profile, with multi-language proficiency and with proven background in Public Health. The consultancy is expected to start on April 13, 2026, and conclude on September 26, 2026. This is a full-time, exclusive engagement (Monday to Friday, 100% dedication). When not on deployment, the consultant will work remotely.
