Consultancy to deliver an advocacy training for EWASH in the OPT

 
 
Background
The Emergency Water Sanitation and Hygiene (EWASH) group, established in 2002, brings together 28 leading humanitarian organizations working in the water and sanitation sector in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), including local and international NGOs and UN agencies. As the overall situation in the WASH sector continues to deteriorate, with Palestinians systematically being denied access to their fair and equitable share of water resources and adequate sanitation, the need was felt for a collective approach to sector advocacy in view of achieving long-term solutions to what is in its core a political problem.
 
The Advocacy Task Force (ATF) was formed in 2009 to coordinate messaging among EWASH members and conduct strategic advocacy and campaigning at the local, national and international levels.
 
Advocacy plays a great role in achieving Palestinian rights to water in OPT. EWASH members are becoming more involved in advocacy in their own capacity and through ATF. In order to make their advocacy stronger and in order to build their capacity to support ATF in various advocacy activities, the EWASH ATF intends to hire a consultant/consultant team to conduct advocacy training for its members in March 2015.
