 I.              PURPOSE OF THIS CONTRACT

This consultancy aims to provide operational and technical support to the Fostering Inclusive and Sustainable WASH in the Tonle Sap (FOWASH) Project throughout the consultancy period. The consultant will work closely with the Project Coordinator to support project implementation, particularly on field activities, logistics coordination, data collection, documentation, communications, and monitoring activities.

The consultant will also take a leading role in supporting the preparation and implementation of the project endline survey related to handwashing practices, working closely with the Project Coordinator and HURREDO throughout the process.

The consultant will work as part of the FOWASH project team together with the Project Coordinator and Project Assistant. While the consultant will focus on operational and technical support related to field implementation, communications, monitoring, and endline survey activities, the Project Assistant will support logistics and administrative processes, including requisition, invoice follow-up, and operational coordination.

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 (WKs), 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.
