L’UNICEF recrute un Consultant en données sur les eaux souterraines et en tests de pompage, Antananarivo, Madagascar

 

 

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, a hope

This Technical Reference Document outlines the terms of reference for recruiting an international consultant who will play a crucial role in overseeing data collection and analysis for two significant projects undertaken by UNICEF Madagascar.
Phase 1 of the project focuses on improving the nutritional status in three districts located in the southern region of the country: Sihanamaro, Tsivory, and Itampolo. These districts face significant challenges in accessing safe and reliable water. The consultancy will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the water situation in these areas by analyzing groundwater databases, hydrogeological maps, reports, and social/demographic data. This assessment aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of water supply, infrastructure, and hygiene practices. The collected data will inform decision-making processes to enhance access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene. Additionally, the consultancy project will integrate additional data, including information on non-successful boreholes, into the groundwater information system. This will involve recording borehole logs data, water quality information, and relevant documentation following UNICEF’s data input and organization procedures. The project will also involve collaborating with students from Antananarivo to perform pump tests and analyze existing boreholes, providing valuable field experience and a deeper understanding of the water situation in the area.
Phase 2 of the consultancy project will build upon the findings of Phase 1. It will encompass a comprehensive analysis of 1,100 test pumpings using specialized tools and software for data processing. The ranking and prioritization of boreholes will be determined based on their suitability for larger water infrastructure projects and their vulnerability to contamination and climate change-induced events.
The systematic analysis conducted throughout the project will yield valuable insights for identifying boreholes suitable for conversion into multiple uses of water. This approach aims to optimize the utilization of water resources, catering to various applications and meeting the diverse needs of the community.
