Ongoing Recruitment at WaterAid

It’s hard to believe that today over 650 million people still don’t have clean, safe water and over 2.3 billion live without a toilet. The resulting diseases kill one child every minute.

WaterAid is looking for a Head of Pan-Africa Programme to play a vital role in our mission to transform lives with safe water, sanitation and hygiene in the world’s poorest communities

Job Title: Head of Pan-Africa Programme
Location: Ethiopia or Nigeria

Working within the International Programmes team, the Head of Pan-Africa Programme will:

• contribute to the global leadership of WaterAid by providing strategic direction and guidance to the Pan-Africa Programme.


• influence key stakeholders by showing them the impact safe water and improved sanitation and hygiene can have on the poorest and most excluded communities in Africa.


• ensure strategies and plans link programming practice and policy to maximise our impact, by drawing upon country and regional evidence, and by fostering strong collaboration amongst WaterAid Africa regions.

To be successful, you’ll need to have:

• proven experience of working at a senior level in development in Africa, with strategic leadership and management responsibilities.


• substantial knowledge and a successful track record of influencing pan-African institutions, such as the AUC, AfDB, ACHPR and other relevant institutions that affect WASH and development in Africa.


• the ability to provide strong leadership to diverse, multi-cultural teams, alongside the ability to develop organisational strategies and translate them into plans and budgets.
