Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Ghana
Closing date: 21 Aug 2013

BackgroundGhana is off track in terms of meeting its sanitation Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target with the current sanitation coverage of 13% compared to the MDG target of 54% (JMP, 2012). Open defecation is a key sanitation challenge affecting the country with 23% of the citizenry resorting to open defecation. As part of efforts to address this poor sanitation situation and accelerate progress towards the achievement of the MDG target, the Government of Ghana (GoG) developed the MDG Acceleration Framework for Sanitation which identifies three critical interventions required for scaling up sanitation in the country and which would help put Ghana back on track to meet the sanitation MDG targets in 2015.

Country-wide implementation of Community Led Total Sanitation is one of the three interventions identified. The Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach is a social norms approach which works with participatory learning tools and interpersonal approaches to eliminate the practice of open defecation and establish the social norm of using latrines one community at a time. Country wide implementation of CLTS is expected to result in the elimination of the practice of defecating in the open in country and the establishment of the social norm of using latrines. The rate of implementing CLTS in the country has been progressive from 69 communities in 2009 to 933 in 2012. The pace of implementation however needs to be increased significantly if Ghana is to meet the MDG target for sanitation.

With 29 months left to December 2015, when the MDGs would have officially ended, there is a renewed drive to implement the MAF for Sanitation in Ghana and Government wants to launch a major campaign in Ghana to enable the country meet the MDG targets. The campaign in Ghana is in line with the resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly calling on Member States to support the Sanitation Drive to 2015 initiative by redoubling efforts to close the sanitation gap and end open defecation, the most dangerous sanitation practice for public health. A concept note has been developed to guide the implementation of the campaign.

The campaign will provide communication and advocacy support for on-going programme interventions aimed at improving Ghana’s progress towards the Sanitation MDG target such as the CLTS capacity strengthening project currently underway by Kamal Kar, the originator of CLTS and the CLTS Foundation and ongoing CLTS projects such as the World Bank Sustainable Rural Water and Sanitation Project and the GoG-UNICEF WASH programme. The campaign will also be supported by other ongoing initiatives such as the Sanitation Knowledge Management Initiative and the decentralised planning for ODF attainment. Data on the outcome of the campaign will be available through the Basic Sanitation Information System as well the district Lot Quality Assurance Surveys (LQAS) and national level sanitation surveys.

The Campaign is expected to be implemented in the spirit of partnership with each partner making diverse contributions to help achieve the objective. To ensure that partners are encouraged to continue supporting the campaign, as much visibility as desired will be provided to all partners with the only limitation being a requirement to use the campaign logo and tagline.

The consultant will seek to empower partners by nurturing leaders of various sub-groups within the partnership and tasking them to develop their own plan of action which will include activities aimed at bringing in new partners and resources for implementing the campaign. The consultant will guide the various sub- groups with ideas for their plan of action which could be as diverse as possible. Examples of activity ideas are the operation of social media by media persons, establishment of advocacy think tanks, development of sanitation serials, SMS text messages by telecommunication firms etc. The consultant will coordinate the various action plans, linking groups that have similar ideas and building synergy where possible. In coordinating the work of the partners, the consultant will create a platform for partners to interact regularly. The platform will employ both virtual and face to face methods.

The assignment will be implemented at national level and in the 5 regions with the worst sanitation coverage. The consultant will be required to work under the immediate supervision of the Environmental Health and Sanitation Directorate of the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development as this assignment is a Government Led Initiative.
