The adviser will provide technical and thought leadership to all Plan departments, particularly in relation to the design, development and submission of new fundraising proposals, and so help build our WASH programme portfolio. They will help develop the technical skills of programme officers and others in Plan to ensure quality delivery of WASH programming, and that current good practice and innovative approaches are reflected in all stages of project cycle management.

Where necessary the adviser will also provide technical support and capacity building to country office staff to ensure the successful delivery of projects and programmes. In doing so they will engage with Plan International’s global advisory capacity to ensure strategic alignment of WASH work around the organisation, and that good practice is shared across the wider Plan federation, and with outside organisations.
