Consultancy for Clean Water Awareness Campaign Coordination under FOWASH Project

Oxfam is a global movement of people who are fighting inequality to end poverty and injustice. Across regions, from the local to the global, we work with people to bring change that lasts.

 I.               PURPOSE OF THIS CONTRACT

This consultancy aims to support the planning, coordination, and implementation of clean water awareness campaigns in 10 primary and secondary schools located in Battambang and Siem Reap province, specifically in Kampong Prieng, Ampil Pram Daeum and Varin commune. The target schools are located within 3–5 km of community-based water kiosks supported by the FOWASH project. The campaign aims to raise awareness among students, teachers, and parents on clean water, hygiene, and sanitation practices that contribute to improved health outcomes. In addition, the campaign will promote Kuchsar water as safe drinking water produced through FOWASH-supported water kiosks to increase community awareness and uptake. The consultant will work closely with Oxfam and its implementing partner, HURREDO, to effectively plan and deliver the campaign across the selected schools.

II.               BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

The Fostering Inclusive and Sustainable WASH in the Tonle Sap (FOWASH) Project addresses critical challenges related to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in rural Cambodia. The project is funded by KOICA, led by Oxfam, and implemented by the local NGO, HURREDO, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD), Provincial Departments of Rural Development (PDRD), and local authorities in both provinces.

The project aims to contribute to the overall impact of strengthening health and improving water, sanitation, and hygiene for vulnerable communities affected by climate change in the Tonle Sap Biosphere Region (TSBR). By the end of 2026, the project seeks to achieve the following outcomes:

• Outcome 1: Improved access to sustainable and clean water in vulnerable and hard to reach communities impacted by climate change in the TSBR.
• Outcome 2: Increased awareness and practice of and improved access to hygiene and sanitation of vulnerable and hard to reach communities impacted by climate change in the TSBR.

The project is being implemented in 17 communes across 12 districts in Siem Reap and Battambang provinces. To date, the project has supported the establishment of 11 community-based water kiosks, producing safe drinking water under the brand Kuchsar water. In parallel, the project promotes hygiene and sanitation practices through community and school-based interventions. This dual approach, combining improved access to safe water and behavior change on hygiene, provides the foundation for the proposed clean water awareness campaign, which aims to strengthen community engagement and increase the uptake of safe drinking water from nearby kiosks.
