  • Manage learning and exchange initiatives, as well as external support services, in close cooperation with the head of the program's learning module.
  • Act as the primary contact for external networking, fostering collaboration with international partners and ensuring program visibility at the sector level.
  • Review and approve newsletters, learning briefs, and other program-related publications, including donor reports.
  • Represent WHH in high-level meetings and forums.
  • Manage access to a network of subject matter experts, facilitating their utilization by project teams and stakeholders.
  • Advise WHH management on challenges, risks, and opportunities to enhance WASH service delivery and the overall WASH portfolio.
  • Conduct appraisals, manage contracts, and provide development and training opportunities for country teams and local partners.
  • Participate in and, when appropriate, facilitate internal exchange workshops and annual program events.
