81227552 — Special Initiative for Refugess — Support to Refugees, especially Voluntary Returnees and Host Communities in Kenya

As a result of violent conflict in South Sudan, Somalia and other countries of the region, the number of refugees in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Turkana County, Kenya, has risen to 185 500 refugees (UNHCR). Whereas water supply is relatively stable in the refugee camps due to humanitarian organisations, Kakuma town above all lacks sufficient financial and human resources to provide adequate basic water and sanitation services to the local population. The GIZ intervention of the Special Initiative Refugees in its field of cooperation (5) aims to improve access to water and sanitation services for both groups – refugees and the host community alike. The consultancy will focus on the following fields of interventions: (1) Feasibility study and development of a masterplan for water and sanitation services; (2) Development of an operating concept and Business Plan for sanitation services; (3) Hygiene promotion; (4) Capacity Development for the local water and sanitation service provider.
