Description: In close cooperation with the GIZ Team the successful consultant is responsible for the implementation of the project ‘ConNex — Support of basic public services for vulnerable people, Iraq’. The services focus on improving the absorption capacities of public service providers in the fields of water and sanitation by introducing and implementing, among others, a system of key performance indicators and a water loss reduction strategy. The services address those institutions who are responsible for the provision of water and sanitation services. Since capacity development is the prime objective of this assignment, the consultant shall involve partners’ staff to the largest possible extent into all activities at all stages. The consultancy shall also respond to expectations formulated by the partners during the implementation of the measure. Therefore a high degree of flexibility shall therefore be reflected in the approach and methodology. The objective of the services is to improving the absorption capacities of public services in the fields of water and sanitation. The beneficiaries are primarily host communities and internally displaced persons and refugees.

In order to adjust the frame conditions and the operations of water and sanitation services the Consultancy will address the following administrative levels: the General Directorate of Water and Sewerage in Erbil and the Directorates on the Level of Dohuk Governorate. In a results-based approach, the indicator for the successful implementation of the consultant's intervention is the achievement of its objectives, defined by the following results:
— key-performance-indicators (KPIs) which were agreed within a consultative and participatory approach are regularly reported by the Directorates of Water (Directorate of Dohuk Water, DoDW and Directorate of Dohuk Outskirts Water, DoDOW) to the General Directorate of Water and Sewerage within the Ministry of Municipalities and Tour-ism (MoMT) in Erbil,
— appropriate data management procedures are used by the General Directorate and the subsidiary Directorates of Water to document their assets and to support decision-making,
— Non-Revenue-Water (NRW-) task forces are set up by the Directorates of Water (DoDW and DoDOW) and operate according to a ‘NRW Reduction Strategy’,
— the Directorate of Municipalities (DoM) applies a concept to manage and operate faecal sludge transport and treatment facilities.
The results will be attained through the following mechanisms:
