Open Call for WASH Consultants
SNV is a not-for-profit international development organisation. Founded in the Netherlands nearly 50 years ago, we have built a long-term, local presence in 38 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our global team of local and international advisors work with local partners to equip communities, businesses and organisations with the tools, knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own development. SNV strengthens the capacity of local organizations within three main sectors: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Agriculture and Renewable Energy. For more information, please visit our website:www.snvworld.org
