USAID Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID IUWASH) project is a sixty-month program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented under the leadership of DAI. USAID IUWASH works with government, the private sector, NGOs, community groups and other stakeholders to improve access to safe water supply and sanitation in Indonesia’s urban areas. The expected results to be achieved are: (a) Two million people in urban areas gain access to improved water supply; (b) 200,000 people in urban areas gain access to improved sanitation facilities; and (c) the per unit water cost paid by the poor in targeted areas decreases by at least 20%. To achieve the above, technical assistance is divided in three main technical components:
1. Mobilizing demand for water supply and sanitation service delivery;
2. Improving and expanding capacity for water and sanitation service delivery; and
3. Strengthening policy and the financial enabling environment for improved water supply and sanitation service delivery.
Within the framework of the above, The Manoff Group (TMG) will serve as a member of USAID’s IUWASH team, and while it may provide assistance under each of the project’s components, its work will be especially focused on the provision of expertise and assistance in behavior change strategies and communications under Component 1 (demand mobilization for improved water and sanitation services). TMG is currently recruiting for Behavior Change Communication Capacity Development Specialist to be based in Jakarta.

- Participate in a situational assessment of behavior change issues around water and sanitation (i.e. feces disposal) in urban areas, including: cultural perceptions; experiences of recent efforts to improve access to hardware; and WASH behaviors.
