**Organization***: EU/CHP Division of Country Health Programmes

**Schedule***: Full-time

**OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME**

The Division of Country Health Programmes (CHP) assists country efforts to reduce the burden of non-communicable and communicable diseases and address the social, economic and environmental determinants of health, and promotes policies and actions for health through stewardship of the WHO European Healthy Cities Network. It focuses on health promotion measures; communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis, and vector-borne and neglected tropical diseases; elimination and control of vaccine-preventable diseases and advocacy for increased use of vaccines; containing and controlling antimicrobial resistance; addressing existing and emerging environmental health risks and supporting violence and injury prevention. A determination to ensure universal access to people-centred quality health services across the continuum of care is matched by enriching the evidence base for policy design and interventions using social, cultural and behavioral approaches, to drive implementation of innovation at national, regional and local levels.

The WHO European Centre for Environment and Health (ECEH)in Bonn provides technical and scientific expertise on the impacts of environment on health. It delivers to countries policy advice, tools to inform and support decision-making in the areas of air quality, access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene, minimizing the adverse effects of chemicals, adaptation to and mitigation of climate change, environmental sustainability of health systems, urban health planning, including transport and mobility work, as well as violence and road traffic injury prevention. It will work with all units to develop collaborative initiatives addressing environment-related diseases. The Centre strengthens country capacities to address environment and health challenges through development and delivery of a range of training courses on environment and health, including on health impact assessment.

The Programme on Water and Climate (WAC) addresses the health-related aspects of water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and climate change adaptation. WAC provides the secretariat function to the Protocol on Water and Health, jointly with UNECE. It also provides the secretariat for the Working Group on Health in Climate Change (HIC), a working group established by the European Environment and Health Task Force, to facilitate dialogue and cooperation among Member States in the WHO European Region to protect health from the adverse effects of climate change. WAC works with Member States to support the development of climate change health adaptation plans, and to develop and improve WASH regulations, management and surveillance approaches, as well as management of outbreaks of water-related disease. The programme supports the regional implementation of the World Health Assembly (WHA) resolutions in relation to WASH, and the achievement of WASH-related goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It also supports regional rollout of WHO-led global monitoring instruments to track progress in attaining SDG 6.

**DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES**

To provide coordination and technical assistance at the multi-country, national and local levels in the area of water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and health through promoting health sector leadership, multistakeholder coordination and advancing implementation of the UNECE-WHO/Europe Protocol on Water and Health; to support Member States in the WHO European Region in the development and implementation of health-protective water and sanitation policies and regulations, in strengthening WASH-related public health surveillance systems and in monitoring global and regional commitments and national targets to ensure safely managed drinking-water and sanitation services for all, underpinned by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

- Coordinate, in close liaison with UNECE and Parties to the Protocol, the preparation and organization of meetings of the governing bodies of the Protocol on Water and Health, such as the Meeting of the Parties, the Bureau and the Working Group on Water and Health, including the development of agendas, preparation of meeting documents and drafting of meeting reports;
